for planned nft backend we have three choices: - open/close a new nfnetlink socket for every operation - keep a nfnetlink socket open internally - expose a opaque fw_ctx and stash all internal data here. Originally I opted for the 2nd option, but during review it was suggested to avoid static storage duration because of perceived problems with threaded applications. This adds fw_ctx and new/free functions, then converts the existing api and nspawn and networkd to use it.
