ipset: Add userspace code to support hash:net,net kernel module.
This adds the userspace library, tests to validate correct operation of the module and also provides appropriate usage information in the man page. The library version has been bumped accordingly.

+.SS hash:net,net
+The \fBhash:net,net\fR set type uses a hash to store pairs of different sized IP
+network addresses. Bear in mind that the first parameter has precedence
+over the second, so a nomatch entry could be potentially be ineffective if a more specific
+first parameter existed with a suitable second parameter.
+Network address with zero prefix size cannot be stored in this type of set.

+\fBfamily\fR { \fBinet\fR | \fBinet6\fR }
+The protocol family of the IP addresses to be stored in the set. The default is
+\fBinet\fR, i.e IPv4.
+.TP
+\fBhashsize\fR \fIvalue\fR
+The initial hash size for the set, default is 1024. The hash size must be a power
+of two, the kernel automatically rounds up non power of two hash sizes to the first
+correct value.
+.TP
+\fBmaxelem\fR \fIvalue\fR
+The maximal number of elements which can be stored in the set, default 65536.
+.PP
+For the \fBinet\fR family one can add or delete multiple entries by specifying
+a range, which is converted internally to network(s) equal to the range:
+.PP
+\fInetaddr\fR := { \fIip\fR[/\fIcidr\fR] | \fIfromaddr\fR\-\fItoaddr\fR }
+.PP
+When adding/deleting/testing entries, if the cidr prefix parameter is not specified,
+then the host prefix value is assumed. When adding/deleting entries, the exact
+element is added/deleted and overlapping elements are not checked by the kernel.
+When testing entries, if a host address is tested, then the kernel tries to match
+the host address in the networks added to the set and reports the result accordingly.
+.PP
+From the \fBset\fR netfilter match point of view the searching for a match
+always starts from the smallest size of netblock (most specific
+prefix) to the largest one (least specific prefix) with the first param
+having precedence.
+When adding/deleting IP addresses to the set by the \fBSET\fR netfilter target,
+it will be added/deleted by the most specific prefix which can be found in
+the set, or by the host prefix value if the set is empty.
+.PP
+The lookup time grows linearly with the number of the different prefix
+values added to the first parameter of the set. The number of secondary prefixes
+further increases this as the list of secondary prefixes is traversed per primary
+prefix.

The \fBhash:ip,port\fR set type uses a hash to store IP address and port number pairs.
