IB/uverbs: Add PTR_IN attributes that are allocated/copied automatically

Adding UVERBS_ATTR_SPEC_F_ALLOC_AND_COPY flag to PTR_IN attributes.
By using this flag, the parse automatically allocates and copies the
user-space data. This data is accessible by using uverbs_attr_get_len
and uverbs_attr_get_alloced_ptr inline accessor functions from the
handler.
