iptables: improve chain name validation
As pointed out by Andrew Domaszek, iptables allows whitespace to be included in
chain names. This causes issues with iptables-restore, and later iptables
actions on the chain. Attached patch disallows whitespace, and also consolidates
all chain name checking into a new function.
This closes netfilter bugzilla #855.
