We've had several bugs in the past that were quite tricky to debug, but would have been much easier if we'd known that a netlink operation had failed. So, it would be desirable to actually detect and report failures of netlink operations. While working on that, I discovered that there are a number of other issues ranging from very small to medium sized with the way we use netlink. This series addresses many of them.

This series was tested as based on the pending patches adding C11 support, though I believe it trivially rebases onto current main.
Changes since v1: * Assorted minor fixes based on Stefano's review * Rebased on C11 branch
Applied (with minor formatting fixes in pasta_ns_conf()). -- Stefano
