Previously, we've used UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ for extending existing
attributes. The behavior of this flag was the kernel accepts anything
bigger than the minimum size it specified. This is unsafe, since in
order to safely extend an attribute, we need to make sure unknown size
is zeroed. Replacing UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ with
UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MIN_SZ_OR_ZERO, which essentially checks that the
unknown size is zero. In addition, attributes are now decorated with
UVERBS_ATTR_TYPE and UVERBS_ATTR_STRUCT, so we can provide the minimum
and known length.
Users of this flag needs to use copy_from_or_zero functions/macros.

Fix a bug in uverbs_ioctl_merge that looked at the object's iterator
number instead of the method's iterator number when merging methods.
While we're at it, make the uverbs_ioctl_merge code a bit more clear
and faster.

Different drivers support different features and even subset of the
common uverbs implementation. Currently, this is handled as bitmask
in every driver that represents which kind of methods it supports, but
doesn't go down to attributes granularity. Moreover, drivers might
want to add their specific types, methods and attributes to let
their user-space counter-parts be exposed to some more efficient
abstractions. It means that existence of different features is
validated syntactically via the parsing infrastructure rather than
using a complex in-handler logic.
In order to do that, we allow defining features and abstractions
as parsing trees. These per-feature parsing tree could be merged
to an efficient (perfect-hash based) parsing tree, which is later
used by the parsing infrastructure.
To sum it up, this makes a parse tree unique for a device and
represents only the features this particular device supports.
This is done by having a root specification tree per feature.
Before a device registers itself as an IB device, it merges
all these trees into one parsing tree. This parsing tree
is used to parse all user-space commands.
A future user-space application could read this parse tree. This
tree represents which objects, methods and attributes are
supported by this device.
This is based on the idea of
