Instead of calling the membership functions several times it is
helpfull to extend the API and make the single group functions a
special case.
The value 0 (NFNLGRP_NONE) terminates this list.
Example use:
nl_socket_add_memberships(sock, group_1, group_2, 0);
nl_socket_drop_memberships(sock, group_1, group_2, 0);

The idea of a common handle is long revised and only misleading,
nl_handle really represents a socket with some additional
action handlers assigned to it.
Alias for nl_handle is kept for backwards compatibility.
In order for the interface to become more thread safe, the error
handling was revised to no longer depend on a static errno and
error string buffer.
This patch converts all error paths to return a libnl specific
error code which can be translated to a error message using
nl_geterror(int error). The functions nl_error() and
nl_get_errno() are therefore obsolete.
This change required various sets of function prototypes to be
changed in order to return an error code, the most prominent
are:
struct nl_cache *foo_alloc_cache(...);
changed to:
int foo_alloc_cache(..., struct nl_cache **);
struct nl_msg *foo_build_request(...);
changed to:
int foo_build_request(..., struct nl_msg **);
struct foo *foo_parse(...);
changed to:
int foo_parse(..., struct foo **);
This pretty much only leaves trivial allocation functions to
still return a pointer object which can still return NULL to
signal out of memory.
This change is a serious API and ABI breaker, sorry!
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.
