libxt_NFQUEUE: add new v1 version with queue-balance option
New version that adds support for specifying a queue range instead
of a single queue id.
The kernel will distribute flows across the given queue range.
This is useful for multicore systems, simply start multiple instances
of the userspace program on queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use
"--queue-balance x:x+n".
Packets belonging to the same connection are put into the same queue.
With fixes from Jan Engelhardt.
