relational: Eliminate meta OPs
With a bit of code reorganization, relational meta OPs OP_RANGE,
OP_FLAGCMP and OP_LOOKUP become unused and can be removed. The only meta
OP left is OP_IMPLICIT which is usually treated as alias to OP_EQ.
Though it needs to stay in place for one reason: When matching against a
bitmask (e.g. TCP flags or conntrack states), it has a different
meaning:
| nft --debug=netlink add rule ip t c tcp flags syn
| ip t c
| [ meta load l4proto => reg 1 ]
| [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00000006 ]
| [ payload load 1b @ transport header + 13 => reg 1 ]
| [ bitwise reg 1 = (reg=1 & 0x00000002 ) ^ 0x00000000 ]
| [ cmp neq reg 1 0x00000000 ]
| nft --debug=netlink add rule ip t c tcp flags == syn
| ip t c
| [ meta load l4proto => reg 1 ]
| [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00000006 ]
| [ payload load 1b @ transport header + 13 => reg 1 ]
| [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00000002 ]
OP_IMPLICIT creates a match which just checks the given flag is present,
while OP_EQ creates a match which ensures the given flag and no other is
present.
