build: separate AC variable replacements from xtables.h

It was/is a bit annoying that modifying xtables.h.in causes configure
to rerun. Split the @foo@ things into a separate file to bypass this.

libxtables: consolidate preference logic

Alias support will require testing for more conditions, so move the
revision comparison code into a separate function where it can be
shared between matches and targets.

iptables: support for target aliases

This patch allows for target names listed on the command line to be
rewritten to new names and revisions.

As before, we will pick a revision that is supported by the kernel - now
including real_name in the search. This gives us the possibility to test
for many action names.

libxt_NOTRACK: replace as an alias to CT --notrack

Note that we do not need any print/save functions for the alias entries,
since the real CT entry will handle this.

iptables: support for match aliases

This patch allows for match names listed on the command line to be
rewritten to new names and revisions, like we did for targets before.

doc: deduplicate extension descriptions into a new manpage

iptables.8 and ip6tables.8 had pretty much the same content, with a few
protocol-specific deviations here and there. Not only did that bloat the
manpages, but it also made it harder to spot differences. Separate out
the extension descriptions into a new manpage, which conveniently
features differences next to one another (cf. REJECT).

    iptables: support for target aliase

The result is that:

 iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT

says:

 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.

This also breaks iptables-restore, of course. Jan, you'll have to explain me
how you have tested this.

iptables: restore NOTRACK functionality, target aliasing

Commit v1.4.16-1-g2aaa7ec is testing for real_name (not) being NULL
which was always false (true). real_name was never NULL, so cs->jumpto
would always be used, which rendered -j NOTRACK unusable, since the
chosen real name.revision is for example NOTRACK.1, which does not exist
at the kernel side.

	# ./iptables/xtables-multi main4 -t raw -A foo -j NOTRACK
	dbg: Using NOTRACK.1
	WARNING: The NOTRACK target is obsolete. Use CT instead.
	iptables: Protocol wrong type for socket.

To reasonably support the extra-special verdict names, make it so that
real_name remains NULL when an extension defined no alias, which we can
then use to determine whether the user entered an alias name (which
needs to be followed) or not.

[ I have mangled this patch to remove a comment unnecessarily large.
  BTW, this patch gets this very close to the initial target aliasing
  proposal --pablo ]
