The IFLA_ADDRESS and IFLA_BROADCAST attributes for all interfaces has been a
6-byte MAC address. But the GRE interface uses a 4-byte IP address for this
attribute. This patch allows for decoding a 4-byte value as an IP address as
well as a 6-byte value as a MAC address.

Certain loggers, most notably the syslog, don't allow non-printable characters
in their output, and so they convert them to a string of printable characters.
For example, the newline character is converted to #012. This results in output
that looks like this:

which is rather hard to interpret. So this patch modifes the nlpacket debug
output so that the user can specify whether or not color output should be used
by including an extra, optional parameter when instantiating a NetlinkPacket
object. The default is for color output, just like before this patch. But if
color output is not desired, then no VT100 control sequences will be output. Nor
will there be any newline characters embedded in the output.
The NetlinkManagerWithListener and NetlinkManager classes were also modified to
add the same optional use_color attribute, which defaults to True. Thus when
class members which instantiate NetlinkPacket objects are created the
appropriate value for the use_color attribute will be applied.
I also noticed that the default pid_offset of the NetlinkListener class was 2,
when it should have been 1. So I fixed that too.

CLAG requires some additional nlmanager functionality. Firstly, different
threads in CLAG with the same PID may instantiate NetlinkManager objects. This
currently assigned each the same pid value, which causes issues. So an optional
pid_offset parameter is added which is added to the PID when instantiating a
NetlinkManager object. This allows multiple threads in the same PID to be able
to have distinct identifiers. If a pid_offset is supplied, it should be 2 or
greater, since 0 and 1 are used by the NetlinkManagerWithListener.
Added two new attribute classes: FourByteList and TwoByteValue. Added an encode
function for the IPAddress attribute, and corrected some length errors in the
MACAddress attribute.
The Neighbor class got actual values for the CacheInfo, VLAN, VNI, IfIndex, and
Master attributes. The "Self" and "Master" flag values were added.
Also added the "family" parameter to the constructor for all attribute classes.
This eliminates the special-casing required for certain attribute's
instantiation.

With this pretty straight forward, we introduce a new Attribute in nlmanager,
so that we have single check and no code redundancy for ifname length. This
also prevent loosing time sending a netlink packet for an known error.

The message logged and the exception raised by nlmanager, when receiving
an NLMSG_ERROR packet from the kernel, wasn't super explicit plus if the
error wasn't a netlink related failure we didn't provide any information
Now we use strerror with the provided error code to generate a nice msg.
