[nft PATCH] libnftables: Split code into frontend and library

[nft PATCH] libnftables: Split code into frontend and library

[Phil Sutter]

This finally creates the libnftables shared object.

For some reason, this causes two compiler warnings to appear:

| parser_bison.y: In function 'nft_parse':
| parser_bison.y:131:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nft_set_debug' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
|    nft_set_debug(1, scanner);
|    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| parser_bison.c:64:25: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nft_lex' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
|  #define yylex           nft_lex
|                          ^
| parser_bison.c:4745:16: note: in expansion of macro 'yylex'
|        yychar = yylex (&yylval, &yylloc, scanner);

So this patch contains a workaround, namely declaring both functions
in src/parser_bison.y. During linking the objects are found, so this is
rather a matter of cosmetics.

Also applied, thanks Phil.

Upfront warning: I will not consider this API stable until we make the
0.9 release, so we have a bit more time to make API changes.

This message is popping up here:

  CCLD     libnftables.la
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')

Looks like an automake bug on your system? (Googling turned this up:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155273). I don't see the
warning on my machine at least.

Cheers, Phil
