xt: Fix translation error path

If xtables support was compiled in but the required libxtables DSO is
not found, nft prints an error message and leaks memory:

| counter packets 0 bytes 0 XT target MASQUERADE not found

This is not as bad as it seems, the output combines stdout and stderr.
Dropping stderr produces an incomplete ruleset listing, though. While
this seemingly inline output can't easily be avoided, fix a few things:

* Respect octx->error_fp, libnftables might have been configured to
  redirect stderr somewhere else.
* Align error message formatting with others.
* Don't return immediately, but free allocated memory and fall back to
  printing the expression in "untranslated" form.
