d6f761bc4e build: move copy of linux headers to private directory
libnl3 contains a private copy of some kernel header files.

Normally, users are expected to install libnl and specify
-I$PREFIX/include/libnl3 as include path. As the private kernel
header files are not installed, this works fine.

However, it can be convenient to build against the libnl source
directory, without installing libnl. In this case, the private kernel
header files shaddow the system provided ones. This is undesired.

Move these files to a different directory to avoid this clash.

fd19dae352 bridge: Support the new bridging attributes
This provides support for the new bridging attributes provided
in IFLA_PROTINFO while maintaining backwards compatibility
with older kernels.

A set of new API functions are exported to access the bridging
information. rtnl_link_bridge_has_ext_info() can be used to
check whether a bridge object has been constructed based on
the newly available attributes or the old message format.
