netlink: introduce type-checking attribute iteration

There are, especially with multi-attr arrays, many cases
of needing to iterate all attributes of a specific type
in a netlink message or a nested attribute. Add specific
macros to support that case.

Also convert many instances using this spatch:

Although I had to undo one bad change this made, and
I also adjusted some other code for whitespace and to
use direct variable initialization now.
