  modules[libnl]: make libnl module easy to migrate from versions below 3.2.21 to later versions - lp:1115449

  Comment from configure.ac by author
    # route_obj_ops struct members were made private in 3.2.21 build headers; hence we
    # make a special 3.2 build that is produced with headers from libnl < 3.2.21;
    # the old struct element seem to be still available and not changed, so for now
    # we can be happily continuing using binaries using these headers in versions >= .21
    #
    # Integrators with deployed ntrack libnl 3.x module built against a version < 3.2.21
    # are urged to upgrade to ntrack 017 and do at least one respin with it when moving to
    # 3.2.21 or later to get back ABI/API protection.
