NFPROTO_ARP = 3 in kernel space.

We need the same value here in userspace in order to correctly communicate
with the kernel.

The failure solved by this patch made that {XML|JSON}-parsed tables of ARP
family unable to be directly injected into kernel.

To prevent future errors, this patch changes raw and AF_* values by the mathing
NFPROTO_* couterpart as seen in linux/netfilter.h in both functions:
 * nft_family2str()
 * nft_str2family()

v2: rework+fix using the array-matching approach suggested by Pablo.
v3: constify both the pointer and the data, suggested by Jan.
    Keep setting errno to EAFNOSUPPORT in nft_str2family().
