[PATCH v2 00/29] promote many 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 850 API's marked with experimental
on current main branch. This addresses the easy to remove ones and
gets it down to about 690 places.

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

v2 - add more libraries to the mix
   - remove EXPERIMENTAL where tagged in MAINTAINERS
