This is a high-level function, and it belongs in libsystemd-shared. This way we
don't end up linking a separate copy into various binaries. It would even end
up in libsystemd, where it is not needed. (Maybe it'd be removed in some
optimization phase, but it's better to not rely on that.)

No functional change.
Let's raise our supported baseline a bit: CLOCK_BOOTTIME started to work
with timerfd in kernel 3.15 (i.e. back in 2014), let's require support
for it now.
This will raise our baseline only modestly from 3.13 → 3.15.
This makes Request object takes hash, compare, free, and process functions.
With this change, the logic in networkd-queue.c can be mostly
independent of the type of the request or the object (e.g. Address) assigned
to the request, and it becomes simpler.
In most netlink handlers, we do the following,
1. decrease the message counter,
2. check the link state,
3. error handling,
4. update link state via e.g. link_check_ready().
The first two steps are mostly common, hence let's extract it.
Moreover, this is not only extracting the common logic, but provide a
strong advantage; `request_call_netlink_async()` assigns the relevant
Request object to the userdata of the netlink slot, and the request object
has full information about the message we sent. Hence, in the future,
netlink handler can print more detailed error message. E.g. when
an address is failed to configure, then currently we only show an
address is failed to configure, but with this commit, potentially we can
show which address is failed explicitly.
This does not change such error handling yet. But let's do that later.
This also renames e.g. request_process_address() -> address_process_request().
Also, this drops type checks such as `assert(req->type == REQUEST_TYPE_ADDRESS)`,
as in the later commits, the function of processing request, e.g.
`address_process_request()`, will be assigned to the Request object when
it is created. And the request type will be used to distinguish and to
avoid deduplicating requests which do not have any assigned objects,
like REQUEST_TYPE_DHCP4_CLIENT. Hence, the type checks in process functions
are mostly not necessary and redundant.
This is mostly cleanups and preparation for later commits, and should
not change any behavior.
All the detailed logging is replaced by a simple "Failed to create netlink message",
which should be enough for the user in the unlikely case that this ever fails.
