tools: ynl: support pretty printing bad attribute names
One of my favorite features of the Netlink specs is that they
make decoding structured extack a ton easier.
Implement pretty printing bad attribute names in YNL.
For example it will now say:
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'
rather than the useless:
'bad-attr-offs': 32
Proof:
$ ./cli.py --spec ethtool.yaml --do rings_get \
--json '{"header":{"dev-index":1, "flags":4}}'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22 extack: {'msg': 'reserved bit set',
'bad-attr': '.header.flags'}
