src: add dynamic register allocation infrastructure
Starting Linux kernel 5.18-rc, operations on registers that already contain the expected data are turned into noop. Track operation on registers to use the same register through nftnl_reg_get(). This patch introduces an LRU eviction strategy when all the registers are in used. nftnl_reg_get_scratch() is used to allocate a register as scratchpad area: no tracking is performed in this case, although register eviction might occur.
