libnl 3.2.23-rc1 released

[Teto]

HI,

I've done a bit of work on the python bindings here:
https://github.com/teto/libnl/tree/master/python/netlink
I've got a few tests for route.py & fib_lookup running, I could not
test my rule.py yet.

Those bindings might not be ready for an integration yet but I mention
them in case others are interested or if you have comments on how I
could improve them.

Nevertheless there are 3 small modification I wish you would integrate:
-add parenthesis in link-doxygen.py to make it compatible with python3
like 2nd modif here
(https://github.com/teto/libnl/commit/7ad38a96d0f6a68c0e23ad0de40cc2d8c326073c)
-and in doc/README that you actually write the make target used to
generate the doc (I believe it's gendoc ?)
-in route/capi.i, you could check that the callbacks indeed are
callable functions.
 int py_nl_cb_set(struct nl_cb *cb, enum nl_cb_type t, enum nl_cb_kind k,
     PyObject *func, PyObject *a)
