[NETLINK]: Use group numbers instead of bitmasks internally

Browse Source 
Using the group number allows increasing the number of groups without
beeing limited by the size of the bitmask. It introduces one limitation
for netlink users: messages can't be broadcasted to multiple groups anymore,
however this feature was never used inside the kernel.
