can: netlink: report the CAN controller mode supported flags

Currently, the CAN netlink interface provides no easy ways to check
the capabilities of a given controller. The only method from the
command line is to try each CAN_CTRLMODE_* individually to check
whether the netlink interface returns an -EOPNOTSUPP error or not
(alternatively, one may find it easier to directly check the source
code of the driver instead...)

This patch introduces a method for the user to check both the
supported and the static capabilities. The proposed method introduces
a new IFLA nest: IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT which extends the current
IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE. This is done to guaranty a full forward and
backward compatibility between the kernel and the user land
applications.

The IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT nest contains one single entry:
IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_SUPPORTED. Because this entry is only used in one
direction: kernel to userland, no new struct nla_policy are
introduced.

Below table explains how IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_SUPPORTED (hereafter:
"supported") and can_ctrlmode::flags (hereafter: "flags") allow us to
identify both the supported and the static capabilities, when masked
with any of the CAN_CTRLMODE_* bit flags:

 supported &	flags &		Controller capabilities
 CAN_CTRLMODE_*	CAN_CTRLMODE_*
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 false		false		Feature not supported (always disabled)
 false		true		Static feature (always enabled)
 true		false		Feature supported but disabled
 true		true		Feature supported and enabled
