[OE-core] [PATCH] iproute2: Default to tipc enabled, and include libmnl dependency

iproute2 has the ability to include a tipc tool.  When enabled this requires
the libmnl package (formerly supplied by meta-openembedded).  So both are
needed at the same time.

The change itself is needed because of the tipc-utils package (in
meta-openembedded) which RDEPENDS on iproute2-tipc.  Without this package
the yocto-compat-layer script indicates there is no way for me to have
meta-openembedded pass the checker.  This is because meta-openembedded is
not allowed to just enable 'tipc' on it's own.  (A layer may not make distro
wide changes without a user saying to do it.)  The checker script invokes
bitbake -S none world, which will fail on dependency resolution due to there
being no iproute2-tipc package.  The tipc-utils package does not have a way
to check the PACKAGECONFIG of the iproute2 package so disable itself if the
dependency can not be met.  So the default system behavior needs to be:

iproute2 w/ tipc enabled
tipc-utils RDEPENDS on iproute2-tipc
