The ATTR_ARRAY type was quite limited, only supporting u16/u32 and
addresses. This changes the union to a struct so nested/function
can be defined along with array_type.
Though the documentation for NLMSG_OK uses an int type for the length
the actual check is based on nlmsghdr->nlmsg_len which is a 32 bit
unsigned integer. Clang was complaining about one call in nlmon.c
because nlmsg_len was int type. Every other usage in nlmon.c uses
a uint32_t, so use that both for consistency and to fix the warning.

To help understand scanning results a bit better and cut down on scan
output add an option to not print the contents of the IEs. Only the
SSID IE will be printed.
NLMSG_OK and NLMSG_NEXT expect to operate on nlmsg_len which is an int
(signed type). The current code uses an unsigned type which means that
it cannot detect underflows. Such underflows can happen when NLMSG_NEXT
tries to advance nlmsg_len by a number of bytes (due to alignment) which
are greater than the current nlmsg_len itself. This causes iwmon to
crash on certain messages.
