netlink: specs: add big-endian byte-order for u32 IPv4 addresses

Linux kernel mirror (for testing) git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

kernel os linux

The fix commit converted several IPv4 address attributes from binary
to u32, but forgot to specify byte-order: big-endian. Without this,
YNL tools display IPv4 addresses incorrectly due to host-endian
interpretation.

Add the missing byte-order: big-endian to all affected u32 IPv4
address fields to ensure correct parsing and display.
