tools: ynl: introduce option to process unknown attributes or types

In case the kernel sends message back containing attribute not defined
in family spec, following exception is raised to the user:

$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml --do trap-get --json '{"bus-name": "netdevsim", "dev-name": "netdevsim1", "trap-name": "source_mac_is_multicast"}'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jiri/work/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 521, in _decode
    attr_spec = attr_space.attrs_by_val[attr.type]
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 132

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    main()

    rsp_msg = self._decode(decoded.raw_attrs, op.attr_set.name)
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise Exception(f"Space '{space}' has no attribute with value '{attr.type}'")
Exception: Space 'devlink' has no attribute with value '132'

Introduce a command line option "process-unknown" and pass it down to
YnlFamily class constructor to allow user to process unknown
attributes and types and print them as binaries.
