tools: ynl: throw a more meaningful exception if family not supported
cli.py currently throws a pure KeyError if kernel doesn't support
a netlink family. Users who did not write ynl (hah) may waste
their time investigating what's wrong with the Python code.
Improve the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 362, in __init__
self.family = GenlFamily(self.yaml['name'])
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 331, in __init__
self.genl_family = genl_family_name_to_id[family_name]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'netdev'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/kicinski/devel/linux/./tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 31, in main
ynl = YnlFamily(args.spec, args.schema)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

raise Exception(f"Family '{self.yaml['name']}' not supported by the kernel")
