Ability to change geneve device attributes was added to kernel through
commit 5b861f6baa3a ("geneve: add rtnl changelink support"), however one
cannot do the same through ip-link(8) command. Changing the allowed
geneve device attributes using 'ip link set <geneve_name> type geneve id
<geneve_id> <allowed_attributes>' currently fails with 'operation not
supported' error. This patch adds support for it.

Take help function in iplink_bridge.c as an example and make other link
types' help functions similar:
* Use a single fprintf() call (if possible).
* Don't state a full command line, just "... type OPTIONS".
* Put every option in it's own line, align options by column.
* List mandatory options first.
link_veth.c is intentionally left untouched because it's 'peer' option
eats all kinds of generic link options and the help text points this out
without duplicating all the options there again.

Since we can only configure unicast, we probably want to be able to
display unicast, rather than multicast.

There are only three users which require it to be reentrant, the rest is
fine without. Instead, provide a reentrant format_host_r() for users
which need it.

controlled geneve device and to select the udp destination port used
by a full geneve tunnel.
