ebtables: Default to extrapositioned negations

ebtables-nft has always supported both intra- and extrapositioned
negations but defaulted to intrapositioned when printing/saving rules.

With commit 58d364c7120b5 ("ebtables: Use do_parse() from xshared")
though, it started to warn about intrapositioned negations. So change
the default to avoid mandatory warnings when e.g. loading previously
dumped rulesets.

Also adjust test cases, help texts and ebtables-nft.8 accordingly.
