Netlink helpers I added in 8bbb77b7c7a2 ("libbpf: Add various netlink
helpers") used char * casts everywhere, and there were a few more that
existed from before.
Convert all of them to void * cast, as it is treated equivalently by
clang/gcc for the purposes of pointer arithmetic and to follow the
convention elsewhere in the kernel/libbpf.

Coverity complains about OOB writes to nlmsghdr. There is no OOB as we
write to the trailing buffer, but static analyzers and compilers may
rightfully be confused as the nlmsghdr pointer has subobject provenance
(and hence subobject bounds).
Fix this by using an explicit request structure containing the nlmsghdr,
struct tcmsg/ifinfomsg, and attribute buffer.
Also switch nh_tail (renamed to req_tail) to cast req * to char * so
that it can be understood as arithmetic on pointer to the representation
array (hence having same bound as request structure), which should
further appease analyzers.
As a bonus, callers don't have to pass sizeof(req) all the time now, as
size is implicitly obtained using the pointer. While at it, also reduce
the size of attribute buffer to 128 bytes (132 for ifinfomsg using
functions due to the padding).
Summary of problem:
Even though C standard allows interconvertibility of pointer to first
member and pointer to struct, for the purposes of alias analysis it
would still consider the first as having pointer value "pointer to T"
where T is type of first member hence having subobject bounds,
allowing analyzers within reason to complain when object is accessed
beyond the size of pointed to object.
The only exception to this rule may be when a char * is formed to a
member subobject. It is not possible for the compiler to be able to
tell the intent of the programmer that it is a pointer to member
object or the underlying representation array of the containing
object, so such diagnosis is suppressed.

This change introduces a few helpers to wrap open coded attribute
preparation in netlink.c. It also adds a libbpf_netlink_send_recv() that
is useful to wrap send + recv handling in a generic way. Subsequent patch
will also use this function for sending and receiving a netlink response.
The libbpf_nl_get_link() helper has been removed instead, moving socket
creation into the newly named libbpf_netlink_send_recv().
Every nested attribute's closure must happen using the helper
nlattr_end_nested(), which sets its length properly. NLA_F_NESTED is
enforced using nlattr_begin_nested() helper. Other simple attributes
can be added directly.
The maxsz parameter corresponds to the size of the request structure
which is being filled in, so for instance with req being:
struct {
struct nlmsghdr nh;
struct tcmsg t;
char buf[4096];
} req;
Then, maxsz should be sizeof(req).
This change also converts the open coded attribute preparation with these
helpers. Note that the only failure the internal call to nlattr_add()
could result in the nested helper would be -EMSGSIZE, hence that is what
we return to our caller.
The libbpf_netlink_send_recv() call takes care of opening the socket,
sending the netlink message, receiving the response, potentially invoking
callbacks, and return errors if any, and then finally close the socket.
This allows users to avoid identical socket setup code in different places.
The only user of libbpf_nl_get_link() has been converted to make use of it.
__bpf_set_link_xdp_fd_replace() has also been refactored to use it.
