Eyal Birger dd29621578 tc: add em_ipt ematch for calling xtables matches from tc matching context
The commit calls a new tc ematch for using netfilter xtable matches.

This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic
based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions.

Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec
state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension
(xt_policy).

The matcher uses libxtables for parsing the input parameters.

Example use for matching an IPSec state with reqid 1:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
    basic match 'ipt(-m policy --dir in --pol ipsec --reqid 1)' \
    action drop

This is the user-space counter part of kernel commit ccc007e4a746
("net: sched: add em_ipt ematch for calling xtables matches")
