src: add variable expression and use it to allow redefinitions
Add new variable expression that we can use to attach symbols in
runtime, this allows us to redefine variables via new keyword, eg.
table ip x {
chain y {
define address = { 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 }
ip saddr $address
redefine address = { 3.3.3.3 }
ip saddr $address
}
}
# nft list ruleset
table ip x {
chain y {
ip saddr { 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 }
ip saddr { 3.3.3.3 }
}
}
Note that redefinition just places a new symbol version before the
existing one, so symbol lookups always find the latest version. The
undefine keyword decrements the reference counter and removes the symbol
from the list, so it cannot be used anymore. Still, previous references
to this symbol via variable expression are still valid.
