Add a new netlink command that can remove a dead node from the internal
data structures.
There is still an impediment here:
When I wrote this a node was removed properly on the first call. After rebase
it now requires the netlink command and the subsequent tipc_node_stop() function
to be executed
Make the c files less cluttered and enable netlink attributes to be
shared between files. This will prove useful in future patches where a
node message contains a nested network.

Add a new netlink command, TIPC_NL_NODE_REMOVE. This command can
remove an offline peer node from the internal data structures.
This will be supported by the tipc user space tool in iproute2.

Commit 5405ff6e15f40f2f ("tipc: convert node lock to rwlock")
introduced a bug to the node reference counter handling. When a
message is successfully sent in the function tipc_node_xmit(),
we return directly after releasing the node lock, instead of
continuing and decrementing the node reference co
