tools: ynl: add support for encoding multi-attr

Multi-attr elements could not be encoded because of missing logic in the
ynl code. Enable encoding of these attributes by checking if the
attribute is a multi-attr and if the value to be processed is a list.

This has been tested both with the taprio and ets qdisc which contain
this kind of attributes.
