src: allow for updating devices on existing netdev chain

This patch allows you to add/remove devices to an existing chain:

 # cat ruleset.nft
 table netdev x {
	chain y {
		type filter hook ingress devices = { eth0 } priority 0; policy accept;
	}
 }
 # nft -f ruleset.nft
 # nft add chain netdev x y '{ devices = { eth1 };  }'
 # nft list ruleset
 table netdev x {
	chain y {
		type filter hook ingress devices = { eth0, eth1 } priority 0; policy accept;
	}
 }
 # nft delete chain netdev x y '{ devices = { eth0 }; }'
 # nft list ruleset
 table netdev x {
	chain y {
		type filter hook ingress devices = { eth1 } priority 0; policy accept;
	}
 }

This feature allows for creating an empty netdev chain, with no devices.
In such case, no packets are seen until a device is registered.

This patch includes extended netlink error reporting:

 # nft add chain netdev x y '{ devices = { x } ; }'
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add chain netdev x y { devices = { x } ; }
                                    ^
