Methods sometimes need to get one attribute out of a group of
pre-defined attributes. This is an enum-like behavior. Since
this is a common requirement, we add a new ENUM attribute to the
generic uverbs ioctl() layer. This attribute is embedded in methods,
like any other attributes we currently have. ENUM attributes point to
an array of standard UVERBS_ATTR_PTR_IN. The user-space encodes the
enum's attribute id in the id field and the internal PTR_IN attr id in
the enum_data.elem_id field. This ENUM attribute could be shared by
several attributes and it can get UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_MANDATORY flag,
stating this attribute must be supported by the kernel, like any other
attribute.

Extending uverbs_ioctl header with driver_id and another reserved
field. driver_id should be used in order to identify the driver.
Since every driver could have its own parsing tree, this is necessary
for strace support.
Downstream patches take off the EXPERIMENTAL flag from the ioctl() IB
support and thus we add some reserved fields for future usage.

Use macros to make names consistent in ioctl() uAPI:
The ioctl() uAPI works with object-method hierarchy. The method part
also states which handler should be executed when this method is called
from user-space. Therefore, we need to tie method, method's id, method's
handler and the object owning this method together.
Previously, this was done through explicit developer chosen names.
This makes grepping the code harder. Changing the method's name,
method's handler and object's name to be automatically generated based
on the ids.
The headers are split in a way so they be included and used by
user-space. One header strictly contains structures that are used
directly by user-space applications, where another header is used for
internal library (i.e. libibverbs) to form the ioctl() commands.
Other header simply contains the required general command structure.
