nft: Check base-chain compatibility when adding to cache

With introduction of dedicated base-chain slots, a selection process was
established as no longer all base-chains ended in the same chain list
for later searching/checking but only the first one found for each hook
matching criteria is kept and the rest discarded.

A side-effect of the above is that table compatibility checking started
to omit consecutive base-chains, making iptables-nft less restrictive as
long as the expected base-chains were returned first from kernel when
populating the cache.

Make behaviour consistent and warn users about the possibly disturbing
chains found by:

* Run all base-chain checks from nft_is_chain_compatible() before
  allowing a base-chain to occupy its slot.
* If an unfit base-chain was found (and discarded), flag the table's
  cache as tainted and warn about it if the remaining ruleset is
  otherwise compatible.

Since base-chains that remain in cache would pass
nft_is_chain_compatible() checking, remove that and reduce it to rule
inspection.
