Kernel manages each genl family by its name, e.g. "nlctrl" or WG_GENL_NAME, and its ID (used for nlmsg_type) is determined dynamically when the corresponding module is loaded. This commit makes sd-netlink follow the same way; now, sd_genl_family_t is dropped, and sd_genl_message_new() takes a genl family name. Each genl family is resolved when it is used first time, and its information is stored in GenericNetlinkFamily.
