PEP 394[1] says,
"In cases where the script is expected to be executed outside virtual
environments, developers will need to be aware of the following
discrepancies across platforms and installation methods:
* Older Linux distributions will provide a python command that refers
to Python 2, and will likely not provide a python2 command.
* Some newer Linux distributions will provide a python command that
refers to Python 3.
* Some Linux distributions will not provide a python command at all by
default, but will provide a python3 command by default."
Debian has forced the issue by choosing the third option[2]:
"NOTE: Debian testing (bullseye) has removed the "python" package and
the '/usr/bin/python' symlink due to the deprecation of Python 2."
Switch our shebang from "#!/usr/bin/env python" to "#!/usr/bin/env
python3" in some places. Remove some 2/3 version checks if we know we're
running under Python 3. Remove the "coding: utf-8" in a bunch of places
since that's the default in Python 3.

Python's lstrip apparently doesn't strip a prefix but instead strips
all supplied characters from beginning of a string. Using lstrip
in generate-nl80211-fields.py script to remove the 'nl80211_' prefix
happened to work for everything but a few NAN related enums.
Introduce a remove_prefix function and regenerate the nl80211
dissector code to fix the abbreviated field names for NAN.
Taking the Linux kernel v5.4 uapi/linux/nl80211.h file:
- Sort the enums in the generation script according to the header file
to make incremental maintenance easier.
- Add listing of all additional enums found in the header file.
- Update the generated netlink dissector code for 802.11.

- Top level nested attributes
- Top level nested array attributes
- Top level attributes with enum fields
- nl80211_band_attr sub attribute
- nl80211_bss sub attribute
- nl80211_sta_info sub attribute

Only commands and top-level attributes are recognized, no specialization
is done (yet?) since it is a large protocol.
Fields are extracted from Linux v4.10-rc4-749-g8585989d146c using the
"tools/generate-nl80211-fields.py --update" command.
Depends on the Generic Netlink (genl) dissector.
