Introduce a generic function (nl_add_bearer_name()) that identifies a
bearer and adds it to an existing netlink message. This reduces code
complexity and makes the code a little bit easier to maintain.

When switching to C99 initializers, I forgot to add this one. This means
that when trying to set an estimator value, tc would complain about
spurious duplicate estimator parameter. But much worse, the random
variable content is sent to the kernel regardless of whether an
estimator was given or not.

since kernel driver has valid default values for 'cipher' and 'icvlen',
there is no need for requiring users to specify both of them when a new
link is added. Also, prompt an error message and exit with appropriate
exit status in case of unsupported cipher suite.

It's a pitty this function is used nowhere, so let's polish it for use:

* Support 'pipe' branch name, too.
* Make number parsing optional.

The optional mask which may be added to int values is considered by the
kernel only if it is non-zero, therefore tc should only then also print
it.
Without this, not passing a mask value like so:
| # tc filter add dev d0 parent 8001: \
| basic match meta\(vlan eq 1\) \
| classid 8001:1
Would lead to tc printing an all-zero mask later:
| # tc filter show dev d0
| filter parent 8001: protocol all pref 49151 basic
| filter parent 8001: protocol all pref 49151 basic handle 0x1 flowid 8001:1
| meta(vlan mask 0x00000000 eq 1)
This is obviously confusing as an all-zero mask strictly means to
eliminate all bits from the value, but the opposite is the case.

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

This improves my initial change in the following points:
- Flatten embedded struct's initializers.
- No need to initialize variables to zero as the key feature of C99
initializers is to do this implicitly.
- By relocating the declaration of struct rtattr *tail, it can be
initialized at the same time.
