/// The generic netlink connection handle
///
/// The handle is used to send messages to the connection. It also resolves
/// the family id automatically before sending messages.
///
/// # Family id resolving
/// There is a resolver with cache inside each connection. When you send generic
/// netlink message, the handle resolves and fills the family id into the
/// message.
///
/// Since the resolver is created in
/// [`new_connection()`](crate::new_connection), the cache state wouldn't share
/// between different connections.
///
/// P.s. The cloned handles use the same connection with the original handle.
/// So, they share the same cache state.
///
/// # Detailed process of sending generic messages
/// 1. Check if the message's family id is resolved. If yes, jump to step 6.
/// 2. Query the family id using the builtin resolver.
/// 3. If the id is in the cache, returning the id in the cache and skip step 4.
/// 4. The resolver sends `CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY` request to get the id and records
/// it in the cache. 5. fill the family id using
/// [`GenlMessage::set_resolved_family_id()`]. 6. Serialize the payload to
/// [`RawGenlMessage`]. 7. Send it through the connection.
///     - The family id filled into `message_type` field in
///       [`NetlinkMessage::finalize()`].
/// 8. In the response stream, deserialize the payload back to
/// [`GenlMessage<F>`].
