this is used when parsing the newly network namespaces. actually, to
track the link of some interfaces like vxlan interfaces, both link index
and link nsid are necessary. if a vxlan interface is moved to a new
netns, the link information is in the default network namespace, then
LINK_NSID is the value of the netns by default in the new netns. That
value of the default netns in the new netns is not known, because the
system does not automatically assign an NSID of default network
namespace in the new netns. Now a new NSID of default netns, seen from
that new netns, is created. This permits to store at netns creation the
default netns relative value for further usage.
Because the default netns value is set from the new netns perspective,
it is not needed anymore to use the NETNSA_TARGET_NSID attribute only
available in recent kernels.

as remind, the netns identifiers are local to a namespace. that is to
say that for instance, a vrf <vrfx> will have a netns id value in one
netns, and have an other netns id value in one other netns.
There is a need for zebra daemon to collect some cross information, like
the LINK_NETNSID information from interfaces having link layer in an
other network namespace. For that, it is needed to have a global
overview instead of a relative overview per namespace.
The first brick of this change is an API that sticks to netlink API,
that uses NETNSA_TARGET_NSID. from a given vrf vrfX, and a new vrf
created vrfY, the API returns the value of nsID from vrfX, inside the
new vrf vrfY.
The brick also gets the ns id value of default namespace in each other
namespace. An additional value in ns.h is offered, that permits to
retrieve the default namespace context.

when the netns backend is selected for VRF, the default VRF is being
assigned a NSID. This avoids the need to handle the case where if the
incoming NSID was 0 for a non default VRF, then a specific handling had
to be done to keep 0 value for default VRF.
In most cases, as the first NETNS to get a NSID will be the default VRF,
most probably the default VRF will be assigned to 0, while the other
ones will have their value incremented. On some cases, where the NSID is
already assigned for NETNS, including default VRF, then the default VRF
value will be the one derived from the NSID of default VRF, thus keeping
consistency between VRF IDs and NETNS IDs.
Default NS is attempted to be created. Actually, some VMs may have the
netns feature, but the NS initialisation fails because that folder is
not present.

A NS identifier is collected by netlink. This identifier is a 32 bit
identifier that is either generated by the kernel (if not set) or
manually set by a set netlink command. The commit here is getting the
NSID from the newly created NS. If the linux option to create or get a
new NSID from the kernel does not exist, then the NSID is locally
genrated.
