The family is relevant for pseudo-families like NFPROTO_INET
otherwise the user needs to rely on the hook function name to
differentiate it from NFPROTO_IPV4 and NFPROTO_IPV6 names.

Add nfnl_hook_chain_desc_attributes instead of using the existing
NFTA_CHAIN_* attributes, since these do not provide a family number.

This nfnl subsystem allows to dump the list of all active netfiler hooks,
e.g. defrag, conntrack, nf/ip/arp/ip6tables and so on.

This helps to see what kind of features are currently enabled in
the network stack.

Sample output from nft tool using this infra:

 $ nft list hook ip input
 family ip hook input {
   +0000000010 nft_do_chain_inet [nf_tables] # nft table firewalld INPUT
   +0000000100 nf_nat_ipv4_local_in [nf_nat]
   +2147483647 ipv4_confirm [nf_conntrack]

<title>netfilter: nft_exthdr: Support SCTP chunks</title>

Chunks are SCTP header extensions similar in implementation to IPv6
extension headers or TCP options. Reusing exthdr expression to find and
extract field values from them is therefore pretty straightforward.

For now, this supports extracting data from chunks at a fixed offset
(and length) only - chunks themselves are an extensible data structure;
in order to make all fields available, a nested extension search is
needed.

<title>netfilter: nftables: add catch-all set element support</title>

<id>aaa31047a6d25da0fa101da1ed544e1247949b40</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch extends the set infrastructure to add a special catch-all set
element. If the lookup fails to find an element (or range) in the set,
then the catch-all element is selected. Users can specify a mapping,
expression(s) and timeout to be attached to the catch-all element.

This patch adds a catchall list to the set, this list might contain more
than one single catch-all element (e.g. in case that the catch-all
element is removed and a new one is added in the same transaction).
However, most of the time, there will be either one element or no
elements at all in this list.

The catch-all element is identified via NFT_SET_ELEM_CATCHALL flag and
such special element has no NFTA_SET_ELEM_KEY attribute. There is a new
nft_set_elem_catchall object that stores a reference to the dummy
catch-all element (catchall-&gt;elem) whose layout is the same of the set
element type to reuse the existing set element codebase.

The set size does not apply to the catch-all element, users can define a
catch-all element even if the set is full.

The check for valid set element flags hava been updates to report
EOPNOTSUPP in case userspace requests flags that are not supported when
using new userspace nftables and old kernel.

<title>netfilter: nftables: introduce table ownership</title>

A userspace daemon like firewalld might need to monitor for netlink
updates to detect its ruleset removal by the (global) flush ruleset
command to ensure ruleset persistency. This adds extra complexity from
userspace and, for some little time, the firewall policy is not in
place.

This patch adds the NFT_TABLE_F_OWNER flag which allows a userspace
program to own the table that creates in exclusivity.

Tables that are owned...

- can only be updated and removed by the owner, non-owners hit EPERM if
  they try to update it or remove it.
- are destroyed when the owner closes the netlink socket or the process
  is gone (implicit netlink socket closure).
- are skipped by the global flush ruleset command.
- are listed in the global ruleset.

The userspace process that sets on the NFT_TABLE_F_OWNER flag need to
leave open the netlink socket.

A new NFTA_TABLE_OWNER netlink attribute specifies the netlink port ID
to identify the owner from userspace.

This patch also updates error reporting when an unknown table flag is
specified to change it from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP given that EINVAL is
usually reserved to report for malformed netlink messages to userspace.
