xtables: Introduce per table chain caches
Being able to omit the previously obligatory table name check when iterating over the chain cache might help restore performance with large rulesets in xtables-save and -restore. There is one subtle quirk in the code: flush_chain_cache() did free the global chain cache if not called with a table name but didn't if a table name was given even if it emptied the chain cache. In other places, chain_cache being non-NULL prevented a cache update from happening, so this patch establishes the same behaviour (for each individual chain cache) since otherwise unexpected cache updates lead to weird problems.
