netlink: introduce bigendian integer types

Jakub reported that the addition of the "network_byte_order"
member in struct nla_policy increases size of 32bit platforms.

Instead of scraping the bit from elsewhere Johannes suggested
to add explicit NLA_BE types instead, so do this here.

NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE() macro is removed again, there is no need
for it: NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE.., ..) will do the right thing.

NLA_BE64 can be added later.

Fixes: 08724ef69907 ("netlink: introduce NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE")
