devlink: support default values for param-get and param-set

Support querying and resetting to default param values.

Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs:
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an
optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested
attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to
indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value.

To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver
api: devlink_param::get_default() and
devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to
implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For
driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via
devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value
for a param.

Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible
to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of
false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink
flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an
associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8
type.

Default parameter values
=========================
Drivers may optionally export default values for parameters of cmode
``runtime`` and ``permanent``. For ``driverinit`` parameters, the last
value set by the driver will be used as the default value. Drivers can
also support resetting params with cmode ``runtime`` and ``permanent``
to their default values. Resetting ``driverinit`` params is supported
by devlink core without additional driver support needed.
