src: support of dynamic map addition and update of elements

The support of dynamic adds and updates are only available for sets
and meters. This patch gives such abilities to maps as well.

This patch is useful in cases where dynamic population of maps are
required, for example, to maintain a persistence during some period
of time.

Example:

table ip nftlb {
    map persistencia {
        type ipv4_addr : mark
        timeout 1h
        elements = { 192.168.1.132 expires 59m55s : 0x00000064,
                     192.168.56.101 expires 59m24s : 0x00000065 }
    }

    chain pre {
        type nat hook prerouting priority 0; policy accept;
        map update \
            { @nh,96,32 : numgen inc mod 2 offset 100 } @persistencia
    }
}

An example of the netlink generated sequence:

 nft --debug=netlink add rule ip nftlb pre map add \
    { ip saddr : numgen inc mod 2 offset 100 } @persistencia
ip nftlb pre
  [ payload load 4b @ network header + 12 => reg 1 ]
  [ numgen reg 2 = inc mod 2 offset 100 ]
  [ dynset add reg_key 1 set persistencia sreg_data 2 ]
