[libvirt] [PATCH v2 2/2] nwfilter: don't reinstantiate rules if there is no need to

This patch adds caching to rules instantiating in nwfilter. This instantiating
can take much time as described in [1] so as we are lacking option to
instantiate rules faster right now we can at least don't instantiate when we
don't need to. And this is typical that between libvirtd restarts rules don't
change in firewall so we don't need to reapply them.

The most straightforward approach is just to compare rules to be instantiated
against rules in firewall but this comparison is complicated (see issues
below). So let's instead dump both rules we are going to instantiate and rules
after instantiation every time we apply rules. So next time we are going to
instantiate rules we can check whether rules in firewall changed or not and
whether we are going to reinstantiate same rules or different.

A few words on dumping rules we are going to instantiate. After filling
firewall obj with rules we have several transactions some of them can have
rollbacks. Among all these rules those that are in rollbacks and those that are
aiming on preparation cleanup (-X, -F, -D and -L which helps to traverse tree
on cleanup) are not significant and ommited in dump.

* Comparison issues *

- different rules order

- rules arguments order can differ. For example:
     in: -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged --physdev-out vme001c42fd388c -g FO-vme001c42fd388c
    out: -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-out vme001c42fd388c --physdev-is-bridged -g FO-vme001c42fd388c

- result rule can have extra arguments. For example (here it looks like just explicit extension):
     in: -A FI-vme001c42fd388c -p tcp --dport 1000:3000 -j RETURN
    out: -A FI-vme001c42fd388c -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1000:3000 -j RETURN
