When we want to validate the expr's dependency or hooks, we must do two
things to accomplish it. First, write a X_validate callback function
and point ->validate to it. Second, call X_validate in init routine.
This is very common, such as fib, nat, reject expr and so on ...
It is a little ugly, since we will call X_validate in the expr's init
routine, it's better to do it in nf_tables_newexpr. So we can avoid to
do this again and again. After doing this, the second step listed above
is not useful anymore, remove them now.
Patch was tested by nftables/tests/py/nft-test.py and

Add helper functions to parse and dump register values in netlink attributes.
These helpers will later be changed to take care of translation between the
old 128 bit and the new 32 bit register numbers.

Change nft_validate_input_register() to not only validate the input
register number, but also the length of the load, and rename it to
nft_validate_register_load() to reflect that change.

The user can crash the kernel if it uses any of the existing NAT
expressions from the wrong hook, so add some code to validate this
when loading the rule.
This patch introduces nft_chain_validate_hooks() which is based on
an existing function in the bridge version of the reject expression.

redirect packets to local machine.
