macvlan: export macvlan mode through netlink

Browse source 
In order to support all three modes of macvlan at
runtime, extend the existing netlink protocol
to allow choosing the mode per macvlan slave
interface.

This depends on a matching patch to iproute2
in order to become accessible in user land.
