Add variable to force binding of nfnetlink_log.
This patch updates the behaviour of the NFLOG input plugin to fix an issue related to kernel older than 2.6.29. The call to nflog_bind_pf() that can be necessary to receive packet from the nfnetlink_log was only done if the used group was 0 (system logging). This is logic for the newest kernel (NFLOG really sends message to nfnetlink_log and not to the nf_log logger). But this is unsufficient for older one. By forcing the binding with the new configuration variable bind, it is now possible to trigger the binding from the ulogd2 configuration file. This gives users a way to be sure that ulogd will receive packets if the NFLOG input plugin is used.
