tests/py: Use libnftables instead of calling nft binary

This adds a simple nftables Python class in py/nftables.py which gives
access to libnftables API via ctypes module.

nft-test.py is extended to make use of the above class instead of
calling nft binary. Since command line formatting had to be touched
anyway, this patch also streamlines things a bit by introducing
__str__ methods to classes Table and Chain and making extensive use of
format strings instead of onerously adding all string parts together.

Since the called commands don't see a shell anymore, all shell meta
character escaping done in testcases is removed.

The visible effects of this change are:

* Four new warnings in ip/flowtable.t due to changing objref IDs (will
  be addressed later in a patch to libnftnl).

* Reported command line in warning and error messages changed slightly
  for obvious reasons.

* Reduction of a full test run's runtime by a factor of four. Status
