iptables --list-rules command
Adds iptables --list-rules (-S) command, acting as a combination of iptables --list and iptables-save. The primary motivation behind this patch is to get iptables-save like output capabilities in iptables-restore, allowing "iptables-restore -n" to be used as a consistent API to iptables for all kind of operations, not only blind updates.. As a bonus iptables also gets the capability of printing the rules as-is. This completely replaces the earlier patch which added the --rules option. Henrik Nordstrom <henrik@henriknordstrom.net>
