mptcp: pm: move Netlink PM helpers to pm_netlink.c



Before this patch, the PM code was dispersed in different places:

- pm.c had common code for all PMs, but also Netlink specific code that
  will not be needed with the future BPF path-managers.

- pm_netlink.c had common Netlink code.

To clarify the code, a reorganisation is suggested here, only by moving
code around, and small helper renaming to avoid confusions:

- pm_netlink.c now only contains common PM Netlink code:
  - PM events: this code was already there
  - shared helpers around Netlink code that were already there as well
  - shared Netlink commands code from pm.c

- pm.c now no longer contain Netlink specific code.

- protocol.h has been updated accordingly:
  - mptcp_nl_fill_addr() no longer need to be exported.

The code around the PM is now less confusing, which should help for the
maintenance in the long term.

This will certainly impact future backports, but because other cleanups
have already done recently, and more are coming to ease the addition of
a new path-manager controlled with BPF (struct_ops), doing that now
seems to be a good time. Also, many issues around the PM have been fixed
a few months ago while increasing the code coverage in the selftests, so
such big reorganisation can be done with more confidence now.

No behavioural changes intended.
