This patch moves the netlink set messages to the batch that contains
the rules. This helps to speed up rule-set restoration time by
changing the operational. To achieve this, an internal set ID which
is unique to the batch is allocated as suggested by Patrick.
To retain backward compatibility, nft initially guesses if the
kernel supports set in batches. Otherwise, it falls back to the
previous (slowier) operational.

This patch adds a basic events reporting option to nft.
The syntax is:
% nft monitor [new|destroy] [tables|chains|rules|sets|elements] [xml|json]

This patch adds the following operation:
:~# nft export <xml|json>
The XML/JSON output is provided raw by libnftnl, thus without format.
In case of XML, you can give format with the `xmllint' tool from libxml2-tools:
:~# nft list ruleset xml | xmllint --format -
In case of JSON, you can use `json_pp' from perl standar package:
:~# nft list ruleset json | json_pp
A format field is added in struct cmd, and it will be reused in the import
operation.

Introduction of batch support broke displaying of EPERM since those are
generated by the kernel before batch processing starts and thus have the
sequence number of the NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN message instead of the
command messages. Also only a single error message is generated for the
entire batch.
This patch fixes this by noting the batch sequence number and displaying
the error for all commands since this is what would happen if the
permission check was inside batch processing as every other check.

This patch allows nft to put all rule update messages into one
single batch that is sent to the kernel if `-f' option is used.
In order to provide fine grain error reporting, I decided to
to correlate the netlink message sequence number with the
correspoding command sequence number, which is the same. Thus,
nft can identify what rules trigger problems inside a batch
and report them accordingly.
Moreover, to avoid playing buffer size games at batch building
stage, ie. guess what is the final size of the batch for this
ruleset update will be, this patch collects batch pages that
are converted to iovec to ensure linearization when the batch
is sent to the kernel. This reduces the amount of unnecessary
memory usage that is allocated for the batch.
This patch uses the libmnl nlmsg batching infrastructure and it
requires the kernel patch entitled (netfilter: nfnetlink: add batch
support and use it from nf_tables).

This patch migrates nft to use the libnftables library, that is used
by the iptables over nftables compat utility as well. Most of the
conversion was pretty straight forward. Some small significant changes
happened in the handling of set element and immediate data abstraction
that libnl provides. libnftables is a bit more granular since it splits
the struct nfnl_nft_data into three attributes: verdict, chain and plain
data (used in maps).
I have added a new file src/mnl.c that contains the low level netlink
communication that now resides in nftables source tree instead of
the library. This should help to implement the batching support using
libmnl in follow up patches.
I also spent some significant amount of time running my tests to make
sure that we don't increase the number of bugs that we already have
(I plan to provide a list of those that I have detected and diagnosed,
so anyone else can help us to fix them).
As a side effect, this change should also prepare the ground for
JSON and XML support anytime soon.
