Subject: [PATCH nft] parser_bison: allow to use variable to add/create/delete
 elements

Using variable definitions from element command doesn't work, eg.

-test.nft-
 define whitelist_v4 = { 1.1.1.1 }
 table inet filter {
	set whitelist_v4 { type ipv4_addr; }
 }
 add element inet filter whitelist_v4 $whitelist_v4
-EOF-

 # nft -f test.nft
 test.nft:7:38-38: Error: syntax error, unexpected '$', expecting '{'
 add element inet filter whitelist_v4 $whitelist_v4
                                      ^

Fix this by using set_block_expr rule for every element command.
