Add --compat option to *tables-nft and *-nft-restore commands
The flag sets nft_handle::compat boolean, indicating a compatible rule implementation is wanted. Users expecting their created rules to be fetched from kernel by an older version of *tables-nft may use this to avoid potential compatibility issues. Changes since v1: - Expect short option '-C' in {ip,ip6,eb}tables-nft-restore command line parser - Support -C/--compat in arptables-nft-restore, too - Update man pages with the new flag Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
