network: firewall integration with NFT sets
New directive `NFTSet=` provides a method for integrating network configuration
into firewall rules with NFT sets. The benefit of using this setting is that
static network configuration or dynamically obtained network addresses can be
used in firewall rules with the indirection of NFT set types. For example,
access could be granted for hosts in the local subnetwork only. Firewall rules
using IP address of an interface are also instantly updated when the network
configuration changes, for example via DHCP.
This option expects a whitespace separated list of NFT set definitions. Each
definition consists of a colon-separated tuple of source type (one of
"address", "prefix", or "ifindex"), NFT address family (one of "arp", "bridge",
"inet", "ip", "ip6", or "netdev"), table name and set name. The names of tables
and sets must conform to lexical restrictions of NFT table names. The type of
the element used in the NFT filter must match the type implied by the
directive ("address", "prefix" or "ifindex") and address type (IPv4 or IPv6)
as shown type implied by the directive ("address", "prefix" or "ifindex") and
address type (IPv4 or IPv6) must also match the set definition.
When an interface is configured with IP addresses, the addresses, subnetwork
masks or interface index will be appended to the NFT sets. The information will
be removed when the interface is deconfigured. systemd-networkd only inserts
elements to (or removes from) the sets, so the related NFT rules, tables and
sets must be prepared elsewhere in advance. Failures to manage the sets will be
ignored.

NFTSet=prefix:netdev:filter:eth_ipv4_prefix
```
Example NFT rules:
```
table netdev filter {
set eth_ipv4_prefix {
type ipv4_addr
flags interval
}
chain eth_ingress {
type filter hook ingress device "eth0" priority filter; policy drop;
ip saddr != @eth_ipv4_prefix drop
accept
}
}
```
```
$ sudo nft list set netdev filter eth_ipv4_prefix
table netdev filter {
set eth_ipv4_prefix {
type ipv4_addr
flags interval
elements = { 10.0.0.0/24 }
}
}
```
