David Ahern f052f5dfe0 ip netconf: Show all address families by default in dumps
Currently, 'ip netconf' only shows ipv4 and ipv6 netconf settings. If IPv6
is not enabled, the dump ends with
    RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

when IPv6 request is attempted. Further, if the mpls_router module is also
loaded a separate request is needed to get MPLS settings.

To make this better going forward, use the new PF_UNSPEC dump all option
if the kernel supports it. If the kernel does not, it sets NLMSG_ERROR and
returns EOPNOTSUPP which is trapped and we fall back to the existing output
to maintain compatibility with existing kernels.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
