Generalize dev_fill_forward_path() so it can be used by the bridge
family to retrieve the bridge vlan filtering information from the
bridge port when discovering the bridge flowtable path.

v1: A different approach compared to Eric Woudstra's proposal to
add another function to the net core for the bridge case.
I am leaning towards making a simple generalization and keep
the bridge vlan filtering path discovery special case under
the flowtable at this stage.

This patch adds bridge flowtable support, this allows to define a
shortcut between two bridge ports. This is complementary to the
existing inet family flowtable support.
Set up does not require userspace updates, an example ruleset to
enable the flowtable in the bridge family is provided here below:
table bridge x {
flowtable y {
hook ingress priority 0
devices = { veth0, veth1 }
}
chain forward {
type filter hook forward priority 0
ip protocol tcp flow add @y counter
counter
}
}
I decided to add an explicit nft_flow_offload_bridge_eval() instead of
recycling the existing inet function by adding branches to skip the
routing part which is obviously not needed in the bridge path. I
consider this mostly boiler plate for feature extensibility and better
maintability is better to keep it separated. Similarly, the bridge hook
that represents the flowtable bridge datapath is implemented in a
separated function.
Although connection tracking in the bridge does not support the tracking
of IP flows encapsulated in PPPoE and VLAN tracking yet, there are
scenarios that involved PPPoE and VLAN that can be supported already,
such as those where packets flows through the bridge with no tagging,
eg. a VLAN device is used as a bridge port which decapsulates the
packets at the ingress path.
Tested with:
- Plain forwarding between bridge ports with no VLAN tagging.
- VLAN device used in bridged ports.
The bridge vlan filtering supported is untested at this stage based on
previous work by Eric Woudstra.
Hardware offload is disabled until there is a driver supporting this.

v1: Different approach to what Eric Woudstra proposes:
- Instead of extending the existing _eval() and _hook() function
that represent the flowtable offload stage and datapath, add new
specific functions. It is more code, but it is boilerplate code
and it might help to make it more maintainable as new specific
bridge features are added, I believe.
- As noted in the commit description, bridge vlan filtering support
is untested, I have used the existing code posted by Eric Woudstra
in this regard.
