mnl: estimate receiver buffer size
Set a receiver buffer size based on the number of commands and the
average message size, this is useful for the --echo option in order to
avoid ENOBUFS errors.
On the kernel side, each skbuff consumes truesize from the socket queue
(although it uses NLMSG_GOODSIZE to allocate it), which is approximately
four times the estimated size per message that we get in turn for each
echo message to ensure enough receiver buffer space.
We could also explore increasing the buffer and retry if
mnl_nft_socket_sendmsg() hits ENOBUFS if we ever hit this problem again.
