Other part of batctl may require to open and send
a message to RTNL. Extract this code and put it in
a generic helper to simplify future uses.

Changes from v2:
- removed IFLA_NAME attribute from request (now we send the ifindex directly)
- improved rtnl_open()

Changes from v1:
- fixed typ0
- removed len argument from rtnl_open() in 1/3
- removed error messages in 2/3
- avoided double free in 2/3
- simplified 3/3
