netfilter: add a netbuffer filter

This filter is to buffer/release packets. Can be used when using
MicroCheckpointing or other Remus like VM FT solutions.
You can also use it to crudely simulate network delay.  Doesn't
actually delay individual packets, but batches them together, which is
a delay of sorts.

Usage:
 -netdev tap,id=bn0
 -object filter-buffer,id=f0,netdev=bn0,queue=rx,interval=1000

NOTE:
 Interval is in microseconds, it can't be omitted currently, and can't be 0.

Interval @var{t} can't be 0, this filter batches the packet delivery: all
packets arriving in a given interval on netdev @var{netdevid} are delayed
until the end of the interval. Interval is in microseconds.
queue @var{all|rx|tx} is an option that can be applied to any netfilter.
@option{all}: the filter is attached both to the receive and the transmit
queue of the netdev (default).
@option{rx}: the filter is attached to the receive queue of the netdev,
where it will receive packets sent to the netdev.
@option{tx}: the filter is attached to the transmit queue of the netdev,
where it will receive packets sent by the netdev.
