[PATCH net-next v3 2/2] tools: ynl: add unicast notification receive support

[Minxi Hou <houminxi@gmail.com>]

Add ntf_listen() method to YnlFamily for binding the netlink
socket without joining a multicast group. This enables receiving
unicast notifications through the existing poll_ntf/check_ntf
path.

The OVS packet family sends MISS and ACTION upcalls via
genlmsg_unicast() to a per-vport PID rather than through a
multicast group. The existing ntf_subscribe() couples bind()
with setsockopt(ADD_MEMBERSHIP), which does not fit the unicast
case. ntf_listen() provides the bind-only alternative.
