As pointed out during review of the --list-attrs support the GET
ops very often return the same attrs from do and dump. Make the
output more readable by combining the reply information, from:

  Do request attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex

  Do reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]

  Dump reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]

To, after:

  Do request attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex

  Do and Dump reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]
