automatic creation of built-in table and chains
In order to emulate the iptables behaviour, this patch changes
the current behaviour to:
1st) check if the table and chains are built-in.
2nd) If they don't exists, create them. If they exists, don't touch
them.
The automatic creation happens in the -I and -P paths.
We should provide a new command to allow to delete (unregister)
built-in tables and chains. It would be similar to unloading
the iptable_X module that registers the custom table.
This is not done for other commands like -C or -D since they
will fail while trying to find the rule in the kernel if such
combination of chain and table does not exists.
