ynl: support binary and integer sub-type for indexed-array 

Add binary and integer sub-type support for indexed-array to display bond
arp and ns targets. Here is what the result looks like:

 # ip link add bond0 type bond mode 1 \
   arp_ip_target 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 ns_ip6_target 2001::1,2001::2
 # ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/rt_link.yaml \
   --do getlink --json '{"ifname": "bond0"}' --output-json | jq '.linkinfo'

    "arp-ip-target": [
      "192.168.1.1",
      "192.168.1.2"
    ],
    [...]
    "ns-ip6-target": [
      "2001::1",
      "2001::2"
    ],

@ -66,9 +66,13 @@ looks like::
[MEMBER1]
[MEMBER2]
It wraps the entire array in an extra attribute (hence limiting its size
to 64kB). The ``ENTRY`` nests are special and have the index of the entry
as their type instead of normal attribute type.
Other ``sub-type`` like ``u32`` means there is only one member as described
in ``sub-type`` in the ``ENTRY``. The structure looks like::
[SOME-OTHER-ATTR]
[ARRAY-ATTR]
[ENTRY u32]
[ENTRY u32]
