netfilter: nf_tables: add insert operation

This patch adds a new rule attribute NFTA_RULE_POSITION which is
used to store the position of a rule relatively to the others.
By providing the create command and specifying the position, the
rule is inserted after the rule with the handle equal to the
provided position.

Regarding notification, the position attribute specifies the
handle of the previous rule to make sure we don't point to any
stale rule in notifications coming from the commit path.

This patch includes the following fix from Pablo:

* nf_tables: fix rule deletion event reporting
