netlink: Split up functionality of nl_link()

Browse source 
nl_link() performs a number of functions: it can bring links up, set MAC
address and MTU and also retrieve the existing MAC.  This makes for a small
number of lines of code, but high conceptual complexity: it's quite hard
to follow what's going on both in nl_link() itself and it's also not very
obvious which function its callers are intending to use.

Clarify this, by splitting nl_link() into nl_link_up(), nl_link_set_mac(),
and nl_link_get_mac().  The first brings up a link, optionally setting the
MTU, the others get or set the MAC address.

This fixes an arguable bug in pasta_ns_conf(): it looks as though that was
intended to retrieve the guest MAC whether or not c->pasta_conf_ns is set.
However, it only actually does so in the !c->pasta_conf_ns case: the fact
that we set up==1 means we would only ever set, never get, the MAC in the
nl_link() call in the other path.  We get away with this because the MAC
will quickly be discovered once we receive packets on the tap interface.
Still, it's neater to always get the MAC address here.
