drbd: distribute former syncer_conf settings to disk, connection, and resource level
This commit breaks the API again. Move per-volume former syncer options into disk_conf. Move per-connection former syncer options into net_conf. Renamed the remainign sync_conf to res_opts Syncer settings have been changeable at runtime, so we need to prepare for these settings to be runtime-changeable in their new home as well. Introduce new configuration operations, and share the netlink attribute between "attach" (create new disk) and "disk-opts" (change options). Same for "connect" and "net-opts". Some fields cannot be changed at runtime, however. Introduce a new flag GENLA_F_INVARIANT to be able to trigger on that in the generated validation and assignment functions.
