net: add MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME



The MODULE_ALAIS_NET_PF macro set is missing a variant that allows for the
appending of an arbitrary string to the net-pf-<x>-proto-<y> base.  while
MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME_TYPE allows an appending of a numerical type, we
need to be able to append a generic string to support generic netlink families
that have neither a fix numberical protocol nor type number
