tests: shell: autogenerate dump verification
Complete the automated shell tests with the verification of the test file dump, only for positive tests and if the test execution was successful. It's able to generate the dump file with the -g option. Example: # ./run-tests.sh -g testcases/chains/0001jumps_0 The dump files are generated in the same path in the folder named dumps/ with .nft extension. It has been avoided the dump verification code in every test file. Signed-off-by: Laura Garcia Liebana <nevola@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Before each call to the test-files, `nft flush ruleset' will be called.
Also, test-files will receive the environment variable $NFT which contains the
path to the nftables binary being tested.
