[PATCH net-next 1/7] netlink: specs: define ethtool header flags

When interfacing with the ethtool commands it's handy to
be able to use the names of the flags. Example:

ethnl.pause_get({"header": {"dev-index": cfg.ifindex,
"flags": {'stats'}}})

Note that not all commands accept all the flags,
but the meaning of the bits does not change command
to command.
