Almost everywhere xmalloc() and friends is used instead of malloc().
This is almost everywhere paired with xfree().
xfree() has two problems. First, it brings the wrong notion that
xmalloc() should be paired with xfree(), as if xmalloc() would not use
the plain malloc() allocator. In practices, xfree() just wraps free(),
and it wouldn't make sense any other way. xfree() should go away. This
will be addressed in the next commit.
The problem addressed by this commit is that xfree() accepts a const
pointer. Paired with the practice of almost always using xfree() instead
of free(), all our calls to xfree() cast away constness of the pointer,
regardless whether that is necessary. Declaring a pointer as const
should help us to catch wrong uses. If the xfree() function always casts
aways const, the compiler doesn't help.
There are many places that rightly cast away const during free. But not
all of them. Add a free_const() macro, which is like free(), but accepts
const pointers. We should always make an intentional choice whether to
use free() or free_const(). Having a free_const() macro makes this very
common choice clearer, instead of adding a (void*) cast at many places.
Note that we now pair xmalloc() allocations with a free() call (instead
of xfree(). That inconsistency will be resolved in the next commit.

<string.h> provides strcmp(), as such it's very basic and used
everywhere.

It provides malloc()/free(), which is so basic that we need it
everywhere. Include via <nft.h>.
The ultimate purpose is to define more things in <nft.h>. While it has
not corresponding C sources, <nft.h> can contain macros and static
inline functions, and is a good place for things that we shall have
everywhere. Since <stdlib.h> provides malloc()/free() and size_t, that
is a very basic dependency, that will be needed for that.

There is a minimum base that all our sources will end up needing. This
is what <nft.h> provides.
Add <stdbool.h> and <stdint.h> there. It's unlikely that we want to
implement anything, without having "bool" and "uint32_t" types
available.
Yes, this means the internal headers are not self-contained, with
respect to what <nft.h> provides. This is the exception to the rule, and
our internal headers should rely to have <nft.h> included for them.
They should not include <nft.h> themselves, because <nft.h> needs always
be included as first. So when an internal header would include <nft.h>
it would be unnecessary, because the header is *always* included
already.

Let "configure" detect which features are available. Also, nftables is a
Linux project, so portability beyond gcc/clang and glibc/musl is less
relevant. And even if it were, then feature detection by "configure"
would still be preferable.
Use AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS ([1]).
Available since autoconf 2.60, from 2006 ([2]).

<config.h> is generated by the configure script. As it contains our
feature detection, it want to use it everywhere.
Likewise, in some of our sources, we define _GNU_SOURCE. This defines
the C variant we want to use. Such a define need to come before anything
else, and it would be confusing if different source files adhere to a
different C variant. It would be good to use autoconf's
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, in which case we would also need to ensure
that <config.h> is always included as first.
Instead of going through all source files and include <config.h> as
first, add a new header "include/nft.h", which is supposed to be
included in all our sources (and as first).
This will also allow us later to prepare some common base, like include
<stdbool.h> everywhere.
We aim that headers are self-contained, so that they can be included in
any order. Which, by the way, already didn't work because some headers
define _GNU_SOURCE, which would only work if the header gets included as
first. <nft.h> is however an exception to the rule: everything we compile
shall rely on having <nft.h> header included as first. This applies to
source files (which explicitly include <nft.h>) and to internal header
files (which are only compiled indirectly, by being included from a source
file).
Note that <config.h> has no include guards, which is at least ugly to
include multiple times. It doesn't cause problems in practice, because
it only contains defines and the compiler doesn't warn about redefining
a macro with the same value. Still, <nft.h> also ensures to include
<config.h> exactly once.
