The format of Netlink policy dump is a bit curious with messages
in the same dump carrying both attrs and mapping info. Plus each
message carries a single piece of the puzzle the caller must then
reassemble.
I need to do this reassembly for a test, but I think it's generally
useful. So let's add proper support to YnlFamily to return more
user-friendly representation. See the various docs in the patch
for more details.

These imports are not used according to Ruff, and can be safely removed.
This is linked to Ruff error F401 [1]:
Unused imports add a performance overhead at runtime, and risk
creating import cycles. They also increase the cognitive load of
reading the code.
There is one exception with 'YnlDocGenerator' which is added in __all__:
it is used by ynl_gen_rst.py.

As we'll be using the Netlink specs parser inside a Sphinx
extension, move the library part from the command line parser.
While here, change the code which generates an index file
to parse inputs from both .rst and .yaml extensions. With
that, the tool can easily be tested with:
tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_rst.py -x -o Documentation/netlink/specs/foo.rst
Without needing to first generate a temp directory with the
rst files.

Move python code to a separate directory so it can be
packaged as a python module. Updates existing references
in selftests and docs.
Also rename ynl-gen-[c|rst] to ynl_gen_[c|rst], avoid
dashes as these prevent easy imports for entrypoints.
