This patch mostly adds support for IFLA_INET6_ADDR_GEN_MODE
nlmanager doesn't support multiple kernel version all the
other attributes like IFLA_INET6_CONF are based on DEVCONF_MAX
from _UAPI_IPV6_H.

This commits fixes AttributeMACAddress for GREv6.
Error message: info: netlink: link dump failed: Length of MACAddress attribute not supported: 20
Reproducible by adding a GREv6 Tunnel:
auto gre1
iface gre1 inet tunnel
mode ip6gre
local 2001:1000:1000:1000::123
endpoint 2001:1000:1000:2000::123
address 192.168.123.1/29
In netlink 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 and GREv6 uses a 16-byte IPv6 address for this
attribute. This patch allows for decoding a 16-byte value as an IP address.
backporting the following commit to master-next:

Add support for setting phys-dev for VXLAN interfaces.
Add interface configuration option »vxlan-physdev« to set »dev« attribute
of VXLAN interfaces and a check for the running configuration.

This backport also:
- adds support for ifquery --running
- uses the netlink cache
- includes some pep8 fixes

this has been upstreamed recently in linux kernel, with
IFLA_BRPORT_NEIGH_SUPPRESS, with 32 as netlink value.

Cumulus is using a temp 152 number in his own kernel.
This is needed for bgp evpn and anycast gateway.

This is a major update coming all at once from master-next branch
master-next branch was started with --orphan option which is basically a new
branch without history.
The major changes are:
- repackaging
- cleanup the directory tree
- rewritte setup.py to allow install from deb file or pypi (pip install)
- add a Makefile to make things (like building a deb) easier
- review all debian files
