[libnftnl PATCH v2] utils: Add helpers for interface name wildcards

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

Support simple (suffix) wildcards in NFTNL_CHAIN_DEV(ICES) and
NFTA_FLOWTABLE_HOOK_DEVS identified by non-NUL-terminated strings. Add
helpers converting to and from the human-readable asterisk-suffix
notation.

Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

No changes since v1 apart from a rebase onto current HEAD.
This single patch supersedes the previous series "Support wildcard
netdev hooks and events" as without NEWDEV/DELDEV kernel notifications,
this is the only change needed by libnftnl to support ifname-based
hooks.
