Support 'nft -f -' to read from stdin

In libnftables, detect if given filename is '-' and treat it as the
common way of requesting to read from stdin, then open /dev/stdin
instead. (Calling 'nft -f /dev/stdin' worked before as well, but this
makes it official.)

With this in place and bash's support for here strings, review all tests
in tests/shell for needless use of temp files. Note that two categories
of test cases were intentionally left unchanged:

- Tests creating potentially large rulesets to avoid running into shell
  parameter length limits.
- Tests for 'include' directive for obvious reasons.
