netfilter: add nftables

This patch adds nftables which is the intended successor of iptables.
This packet filtering framework reuses the existing netfilter hooks,
the connection tracking system, the NAT subsystem, the transparent
proxying engine, the logging infrastructure and the userspace packet
queueing facilities.

In a nutshell, nftables provides a pseudo-state machine with 4 general
purpose registers of 128 bits and 1 specific purpose register to store
verdicts. This pseudo-machine comes with an extensible instruction set,
a.k.a. "expressions" in the nftables jargon. The expressions included
in this patch provide the basic functionality, they are:

* bitwise: to perform bitwise operations.
* byteorder: to change from host/network endianess.
* cmp: to compare data with the content of the registers.
* counter: to enable counters on rules.
* ct: to store conntrack keys into register.
* exthdr: to match IPv6 extension headers.
* immediate: to load data into registers.
* limit: to limit matching based on packet rate.
* log: to log packets.
* meta: to match metainformation that usually comes with the skbuff.
* nat: to perform Network Address Translation.
* payload: to fetch data from the packet payload and store it into
  registers.
* reject (IPv4 only): to explicitly close connection, eg. TCP RST.

Using this instruction-set, the userspace utility 'nft' can transform
the rules expressed in human-readable text representation (using a
new syntax, inspired by tcpdump) to nftables bytecode.

nftables also inherits the table, chain and rule objects from
iptables, but in a more configurable way, and it also includes the
original datatype-agnostic set infrastructure with mapping support.
This set infrastructure is enhanced in the follow up patch (netfilter:
nf_tables: add netlink set API).

This patch includes the following components:

* the netlink API: net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and
  include/uapi/netfilter/nf_tables.h
* the packet filter core: net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c
* the expressions (described above): net/netfilter/nft_*.c
* the filter tables: arp, IPv4, IPv6 and bridge:
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv4.c
  net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.c
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_tables_arp.c
  net/bridge/netfilter/nf_tables_bridge.c
* the NAT table (IPv4 only):
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_nat_ipv4.c
* the route table (similar to mangle):
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv4.c
  net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_table_route_ipv6.c
* internal definitions under:
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.h
* It also includes an skeleton expression:
  net/netfilter/nft_expr_template.c
  and the preliminary implementation of the meta target
  net/netfilter/nft_meta_target.c

It also includes a change in struct nf_hook_ops to add a new
pointer to store private data to the hook, that is used to store
the rule list per chain.

This patch is based on the patch from Patrick McHardy, plus merged
accumulated cleanups, fixes and small enhancements to the nftables
code that has been done since 2009, which are:

From Pablo Neira Ayuso:
* nf_tables: fix stack overflow in nf_tables_newrule

* nft_counter: allow to restore counters
* nf_tables: fix module autoload
* nf_tables: allow to remove all rules placed in one chain
* nf_tables: use 64-bits rule handle instead of 16-bits
* nf_tables: fix chain after rule deletion
* nf_tables: improve deletion performance
* nf_tables: add missing code in route chain type
* nf_tables: rise maximum number of expressions from 12 to 128
* nf_tables: don't delete table if in use
* nf_tables: fix basechain release

From Tomasz Bursztyka:
* nf_tables: Add support for changing users chain's name
* nf_tables: Change chain's name to be fixed sized
* nf_tables: Add support for replacing a rule by another one
* nf_tables: Update uapi nftables netlink header documentation

From Florian Westphal:
* nft_log: group is u16, snaplen u32

From Phil Oester:
* nf_tables: operational limit match
