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.

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.
