iptables: add -C to check for existing rules
It is often useful to check whether a specific rule is already present in a chain without actually modifying the iptables config. Services like fail2ban usually employ techniques like grepping through the output of "iptables -L" which is quite error prone. This patch adds a new operation -C to the iptables command which mostly works like -D; it can detect and indicate the existence of the specified rule by modifying the exit code. The new operation TC_CHECK_ENTRY uses the same code as the -D operation, whose functions got a dry-run parameter appended.
