For link, address, route, add a `WithOptions` variant to the
`*Subscribe()` function to specify a namespace and an error
callback. Those options can be extended in the future without adding
more functions. For example, it could be possible to subscribe only
for a given family by adding a `Family` member to the appropriate
struct.
As a minor change, the private function is always suffixed by `At`,
since it was the case for route and raw netlink functions (but not for
address and link).
When a fatal error happens in a `*Subscribe*()` function, the error
was not available to the user. We add a callback function that will be
invoked when such an error happens.
This also modifies the behavior of `AddrSubscribe*()` function to turn
parse errors into fatal errors, as it happens with the other functions.
This is like "ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 broadcast +" and prevents interfaces without broadcast addresses.
Configuring the IP and netmask, but not the broadcast address leaves many applications in a broken state on Linux interfaces.
Having the extra data available in the notification for new addresses is useful
to, for instance, filter out temporary addresses or keep track of address
lifetimes.

This adds parsing of the preferred and valid lifetime information from the
netlink IFA_CACHEINFO attribute. They are stored as PreferedLft and ValidLft in
the Addr struct if found.

- Package methods only need an empty handle.
Not a regular Handle with a couple of
sockets creation/delete.

- Ties to a netlink socket. All client requests
will re-use same socket. Socket released at
handle deletion.
- Also network namespace can be specified during
handle creation. Socket will be opened on the
specified network namespace.

IFA_LOCAL and IFA_ADDRESS are the same for bcast interfaces,
however for point-to-point links, IFA_ADDRESS is the remote
address while IFA_LOCAL is the interface address.
