[PATCH v6 00/25] Promite many experimental API's to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

Since 23.11 is an LTS release it is time to remove the experimental
bandaid off many API's. There are about 890 API's marked with experimental
on current main branch. This addresses the easy to remove ones and
gets it down to about 510 places.

The rule is any API that has been in since 22.11 needs to have
experimental removed (or have API deleted). The experimental flag is not a
"get out of ABI stability for free" card

v6 - incorporate review comments
