Subject: dco_linux: extend netlink error cb with extra info
References: bsc#1239783
Git-repo: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn.git
Git-commit: edad5fa42bff2f291d7d416ccb90f4e7cd5b3f39
Patch-mainline: v2.7

A netlink error may contain more specific attributes: i.e.
missing attributes or missing neted objects.

Parse and print this information too.

Note that we are re-defining some enum entries that exist
in netlink.h starting with linux-6.1.
Since we do support distros not shipping an up-to-date
netlink.h, we had to re-define the entries we need for
this patch.
