netlink: specs: add display-hint to schema definitions
Add a display-hint property to the netlink schema that is for providing
optional hints to generic netlink clients about how to display attribute
values. A display-hint on an attribute definition is intended for
letting a client such as ynl know that, for example, a u32 should be
rendered as an ipv4 address. The display-hint enumeration includes a
small number of networking domain-specific value types.
