This is a straight search-and-replace, except that I also removed #include
<assert.h> from each file where there were no assert calls left.

Typically an nl_sock client can stack-allocate the buffer for receiving
a Netlink message, which provides a performance boost.

This patch changes the interface of netlink-notifier and
rtnetlink-link. Now nln_notifiers are allocated and destroyed by
the module instead of passed in by callers. This allows the
definition of nln_notifier to be hidden, and generally cleans up
the code.
It makes more sense to call nln_notifier_run() and
nln_notifier_wait() simply nln_run() and nln_wait() since they
don't operate on notifiers but the entire nln object. This patch
changes the nln and the rtnetlink-link modules to the new
convention.
This patch renames the rtnetlink module's code to "nln" for
"netlink notifier". Callers are now required to pass in the
netlink protocol to he newly renamed nln_create() function.
The only rtnetlink specific functionality contained in the
rtnetlink module is the use of the NETLINK_ROUTE protocol. This
can easily be passed in by callers.
In preparation for generalization, this patch renames
rtnetlink.[ch] to netlink-notifier.[ch]. Future patches will
complete the transition.
