tools: ynl-gen: Allow multi-attr without nested-attributes again

Since commit ce6cb8113c84 ("tools: ynl-gen: individually free previous
values on double set"), specifying the "multi-attr" property raises an
error unless the "nested-attributes" property is specified as well:

File "tools/net/ynl/./pyynl/ynl_gen_c.py", line 1147, in _load_nested_sets
child = self.pure_nested_structs.get(nested)
^^^^^^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'nested' where it is not associated with a value

This appears to be a bug since there are existing specs which omit
"nested-attributes" on "multi-attr" attributes. Also, according to
Documentation/userspace-api/netlink/specs.rst, multi-attr "is the
recommended way of implementing arrays (no extra nesting)", suggesting
that nesting should even be avoided in favor of multi-attr.

Fix the indentation of the if-block introduced by the commit to avoid
the error.

Fix a crash in the ethtool YNL implementation when Hardware Clock information
is not present in the response. This ensures graceful handling of devices or
drivers that do not provide this optional field. e.g.

ArrayNest AKA indexed-array support currently skips inner type
validation. We count the attributes and then we parse them,
make sure we call validate, too. Otherwise buggy / unexpected
kernel response may lead to crashes.

tools: ynl-gen: individually free previous values on double set

When user calls request_attrA_set() multiple times (for the same
attribute), and attrA is of type which allocates memory -
we try to free the previously associated values. For array
types (including multi-attr) we have only freed the array,
but the array may have contained pointers.

Refactor the code generation for free attr and reuse the generated
lines in setters to flush out the previous state. Since setters
are static inlines in the header we need to add forward declarations
for the free helpers of pure nested structs. Track which types get
used by arrays and include the right forwad declarations.

At least ethtool string set and bit set would not be freed without
this. Tho, admittedly, overriding already set attribute twice is likely
a very very rare thing to do.
