When the host is configured with very restrictive firewall (default policy
is DROP for all chains, including OUTPUT), the bridge driver for Linux
adds netfilter entries to allow DHCP and DNS requests to go from the VM
to the dnsmasq of the host.
The issue that this commit fixes is the fact that a DROP policy on the OUTPUT
chain blocks the DHCP replies from the host’s dnsmasq to the VM.
As DHCP replies are sent in UDP, they are not caught by any --ctstate ESTABLISHED
rule and so, need to be explicitly allowed.

The functions
- iptablesAddForwardDontMasquerade(),
- iptablesRemoveForwardDontMasquerade
handle exceptions in the masquerading implemented in the POSTROUTING chain
of the "nat" table. Such exceptions should be added as chronologically
latest, logically top-most rules.
The bridge driver will call these functions beginning with the next patch:
some special destination IP addresses always refer to the local
subnetwork, even though they don't match any practical subnetwork's
netmask. Packets from virbrN targeting such IP addresses are never routed
outwards, but the current rules treat them as non-virbrN-destined packets
and masquerade them. This causes problems for some receivers on virbrN.

iptablesContext holds only 4 pairs of iptables
(table, chain) and there's no need to pass
it around.
This is a first step towards separating bridge_driver.c
in platform-specific parts.
We pass over the address/port start/end values many times so we put
them in structs.

Let users set the port range to be used for forward mode NAT:
...
<forward mode='nat'>
<nat>
<port start='1024' end='65535'/>
</nat>
</forward>
...

Support setting which public ip to use for NAT via attribute
address in subelement <nat> in <forward>:
...
<forward mode='nat'>
<address start='1.2.3.4' end='1.2.3.10'/>
</forward>
...
This will construct an iptables line using:
'-j SNAT --to-source <start>-<end>'
instead of:
'-j MASQUERADE'
