Jakub Kicinski 4cd2796f3f 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'}
