netlink: support legacy dump request messages
Some legacy tools, including iproute2 < 3.9, issue shorter RTM_GETLINK
and RTM_GETADDR dump queries which only contain struct rtgenmsg rather
than struct ifinfomsg. As noted in kernel comment in rtnl_dump_ifinfo(),
these legacy requests will be (even with attributes) always shorter than
struct ifinfomsg so that they are easy to detect.
Similar problem can be observed with tools using nl_rtgen_request()
function from libnl3; this also affects other RTM_GET* types.
If such legacy message is detected by length shorter than expected data
structure, parse it as this legacy version with (1-byte) struct
rtgenmsg so that it's shown as intended rather than as malformed.
