netlink: introduce NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE
netlink allows to specify allowed ranges for integer types.
Unfortunately, nfnetlink passes integers in big endian, so the existing
NLA_POLICY_MAX() cannot be used.
At the moment, nfnetlink users, such as nf_tables, need to resort to
programmatic checking via helpers such as nft_parse_u32_check().
This is both cumbersome and error prone. This adds NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE
which adds range check support for BE16, BE32 and BE64 integers.
