When a match or target is looked up using xt_find_{match,target},
Xtables will also search the NFPROTO_UNSPEC module list. This allows
for protocol-independent extensions (like xt_time) to be reused from
other components (e.g. arptables, ebtables).
Extensions that take different codepaths depending on match->family
or target->family of course cannot use NFPROTO_UNSPEC within the
registration structure (e.g. xt_pkttype).

Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual
conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or
adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The
patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to
at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

Add new rate estimator target (using gen_estimator). In combination with
the rateest match (next patch) this can be used for load-based multipath
routing.
