xdp: Add VLAN tag hint

Implement functionality that enables drivers to expose VLAN tag
to XDP code.

VLAN tag is represented by 2 variables:
- protocol ID, which is passed to bpf code in BE
- VLAN TCI, in host byte order

bpf: expose information about supported xdp metadata kfunc

Add new xdp-rx-metadata-features member to netdev netlink
which exports a bitmask of supported kfuncs. Most of the patch
is autogenerated (headers), the only relevant part is netdev.yaml
and the changes in netdev-genl.c to marshal into netlink.

Example output on veth:

$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 # ifndex == 12
$ ./tools/net/ynl/samples/netdev 12

Select ifc ($ifindex; or 0 = dump; or -2 ntf check): 12
veth1[12] xdp-features (23): basic redirect rx-sg xdp-rx-metadata-features (3): timestamp hash xdp-zc-max-segs=0

xdp: bpf_xdp_metadata use EOPNOTSUPP for no driver support

When driver doesn't implement a bpf_xdp_metadata kfunc the fallback
implementation returns EOPNOTSUPP, which indicate device driver doesn't
implement this kfunc.

Currently many drivers also return EOPNOTSUPP when the hint isn't
available, which is ambiguous from an API point of view. Instead
change drivers to return ENODATA in these cases.

There can be natural cases why a driver doesn't provide any hardware
info for a specific hint, even on a frame to frame basis (e.g. PTP).
Lets keep these cases as separate return codes.

When describing the return values, adjust the function kernel-doc layout
to get proper rendering for the return values.
