[PATCH v3 00/11] Rework forwarding option parsing

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

This series makes a number of significant reworks to how we process
forwarding options (-t, -u, -T and -U) in passt & pasta.  This is
largely motivated by moving towards being able to share this code with
a configuration update tool.  However, along the way it also enables
some forwarding configurations that were technically possible with the
forwarding table but couldn't be specified on the command line, in
particular bug 180.

There is still a bunch of work needed to make the parsing code truly
shareable with pesto, but this is a solid start.

v3:
 * Removed already merged patches
 * Further revisions based on Stefano's review, including
   * Improved example text in manpage and usage
 * More flexible rule dumping
 * Re-integrated conflict checking in fwd_rule_add()
v2:
 * Assorted minor changes based on Stefano's review, including
   * Explicitly state "guest or namespace" in the manpage
   * Clearer description of @rulesocks field
 * Worked around a gcc < 15 bug causing a false positive warning
 * Update man page and usage() for new capabilities
 * Additional patches moving rule parsing out of conf.c
