Laura found a better way to do this from userspace without requiring
kernel infrastructure, revert this.

This patch uses the map lookup already included to be applied
for random number generation.

This patch includes a new attribute in the numgen structure to allow
the lookup of an element based on the number generator as a key.
For this purpose, different ops have been included to extend the
current numgen inc functions.
Currently, only supported for numgen incremental operations, but
it will be supported for random in a follow-up patch.

Currently we start round robin from 1, but it's better to start round
robin from 0. This is to keep consistent with xt_statistic in iptables.

Add support of an offset value for incremental counter and random. With
this option the sysadmin is able to start the counter to a certain value
and then apply the generated number.
Example:
meta mark set numgen inc mod 2 offset 100
This will generate marks with the serie 100, 101, 100, 101, ...

After we generate a new number, we still use the priv->counter and
store it to the dreg. This is not correct, another cpu may already
change it to a new number. So we must use the generated number, not
the priv->counter itself.

The _until_ attribute is renamed to _modulus_ as the behaviour is similar to
other expresions with number limits (ex. nft_hash).
Renaming is possible because there isn't a kernel release yet with these
changes.

This patch adds the numgen expression that allows us to generated
incremental and random numbers, this generator is bound to a upper limit
that is specified by userspace.
This expression is useful to distribute packets in a round-robin fashion
as well as randomly.
