The following series implements:

 * small XML format fixes in printing.
 * a workaround for target/match binary data.
 * delete all \n and \t in XML printing.
 * print expr flags in XML (the <expr_flags> node)
 * [RFC] XML-to-object parsing.

Note that for XML parsing i've used libmxml (http://minixml.org/)

Also, please consider the XML parsing code a RFC.

This patch aplies two fixes:
	* snprintf XML output offset for rule.
	* add XML <flags> node, missing in previous patches.

The <flags> node will be used for parsing a rule in XML.

You should not rely on the r->flags in the XML parser. Same thing for
table, chain and expressions. Those flags are internal to the library
object representation and I would prefer if they still remain like
that.

I have applied this chunk below as bugfix.

This is a try for expr/match and expr/target to be more XML friendly.

This patch adds the <expr_flags> XML node to expressions printing.

Using this new node, a exact copy of the expr is exported, so is possible to know what attributes were originally set in the expr.

  To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: pablo

This patch adds capabilities for parsing a XML table/chain/rule

Some points to note:
	* the XML data is case sensitive (so <chain>asd</chain> != <chain>ASD</chain> != <CHAIN>asd</CHAIN>)
	* All XML nodes in each object must be present for the XML to be valid.
	(following the format as printed by already included snprintf functions)
	* The API functions will receive a XML and return an object (aka table|chain|rule)
	* If error, -1 is returned. 0 if not. (you know, easily check if the parsing went OK).

Nice things you could achieve with this patch and all XML-related stuff in libnftables:
	* Export the current ruleset (or just one object) in XML format.
	* Edit a ruleset in XML.
	* Validate a XML ruleset, or each object.
	* Import to kernel a XML ruleset, or each object.
	* Possibly (using third party apps), do some XML-to-Json and Json-to-XML conversions.
	* Build even nicer stuff on top of it.

NOTE: expr/target and expr/match are working, but somewhat provisional.
Actually a binary format, hard to deal within XML (at least for me).

Some code examples/test cases will be added to libnftables in a future patch.
