xtables: add IPv6 support
Summary of changes to add IPv6 support to the xtables utility:
* modify all commands (add, delete, replace, check and listing) to
support IPv6 addresses.
And for the internal nft library:
* add family to struct nft_handle and modify all caller to use this
family instead of the hardcoded AF_INET.
* move code that we can re-use for IPv4 and IPv6 into helper functions.
* add IPv6 rule printing support.
* add support to parse IPv6 address.
Pablo added several improvements to this patch:
* added basic xtables-save and xtables-restore support (so it defaults
to IPv4)
* fixed a couple of bugs found while testing
* added reference when -f is used to point to -m frag (until we can make
this consistent with IPv4).
Note that we use one single xtables binary utility for IPv4 and IPv6.
