platform/netlink: combine nl_socket_alloc() and nl_connect() 
Create and use new nl_socket_new().

nl_socket_alloc() really does nothing but allocating the struct and
initializing the fd to -1. In all cases, we want to call nl_connect()
right after.

Combine the two. Then we also cannot  have a "struct nl_sock" without a
valid fd. This means several error checks can be dropped.

Note that former nl_connect() did several things at once. Maybe, for
more flexibility one would need to tweak what should be done there.
For now that is not necessary. In any case, if we need more flexibility,
then we would control what nl_connect() (now nl_socket_new()) does, and not
the split between nl_socket_alloc() and nl_connect().

libnm-platform

A static helper library that provides NMPlatform and other utils. This is NetworkManager's internal netlink library, but also contains helpers for sysfs, ethtool and other kernel APIs.

NMPlaform is also a cache of objects of the netlink API: NMPCache and NMPObject. These objects are used throughout NetworkManager also for generally tracking information about these types. For example, NMPlatformIP4Address (the public part of a certain type of NMPObject) is not only used to track platform addresses from netlink in the cache, but to track information about IPv4 addresses in general.

This depends on the following helper libraries
