Support ELL 0.68 l_netlink_message API. (#303)

* configure: Check for l_netlink_message_new_sized()

ELL 0.68 introduced a non-backward compatible change to its API by
introducing a new l_netlink_message API to simplify use of the
l_netlink_send() function.  Check for the existence of the new API in
the mptcpd configure script.

* network_monitor: Support ELL l_netlink_message API

Support both the pre- and post- ELL 0.68 versions of l_netlink_send()
function.

* network_monitor: Refactor l_netlink_send() calls.

Refactor #ifdef blocks containing calls to the pre- and post-0.68
ELL l_netlink_send() calls to a separate helper functions.  This
simplifies the code, and obviates the need to have an #ifdef block
each time l_netlink_send() is called.  Many thanks to Matthieu Baerts
for making this suggestion.

* configure: Bump copyright year.
