[NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attribute

Browse source 
This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within
the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced.

The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to
allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types.
