[libvirt] [PATCH] nwfilter: changes to rules in VM->host table

  In the table built for traffic coming from the VM going to the host 
make the following changes:

- don't ACCEPT the packets but do a 'RETURN' and let the host-specific 
firewall rules in subsequent rules evaluate whether the traffic is 
allowed to enter
- use the '-m state' in the rules as everywhere else
