ynl: allow to encode u8 attr

Playing with dpll netlink, I came across following issue:
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml --do pin-set --json '{"id": 0, "pin-idx": 1, "pin-state": 1}'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 52, in <module>
    main()
  File "tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 40, in main
    reply = ynl.do(args.do, attrs)
  File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 520, in do
    return self._op(method, vals)
  File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 476, in _op
    msg += self._add_attr(op.attr_set.name, name, value)
  File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 344, in _add_attr
    raise Exception(f'Unknown type at {space} {name} {value} {attr["type"]}')
Exception: Unknown type at dpll pin-state 1 u8

I'm not that familiar with ynl code, but from a quick peek, I suspect
that couple other types are missing for both encoding and decoding.
Ignoring those here as I'm scratching my local itch only.

Fix the issue by adding u8 attr packing.
