6de17f3308 Fix stale data pointers when constructing messages
Patrick McHardy reported a problem where pointers to the
payload of a netlink message as returned by f.e. the
nesting helpers become stale when the payload data
chunk is reallocated.

In order to avoid further problems, the payload chunk is
no longer extended on the fly. Instead the allocation is
made during netlink message object allocation time with
a default size of a page which should be fine for the
majority of all users. Additionally the functions
nlmsg_alloc_size() and nlmsg_set_default_size() have been
added to allocate messages of a particular length and to
modify the default message size.

91c330aae5 Fix creation and destruction of sockets
Fixes an off-by-one when releasing local ports. Fixes nl_connect()
to properly close the socket upon failure. Return EBADFD if
operations are performed on unconnected sockets where appropriate.
Makes nl_handle_alloc() return an error if all local ports are
used up.
