Laine Stump 3855f9fbd4 network: prefer the nftables backend over iptables
The patch that added the nftables backend for virtual networks left
iptables as the default backend when both nftables and iptables are
installed.

The only functional difference between the two backends is that the
nftables backend doesn't add any rules to fix up the checksum of DHCP
packets, which will cause failures on guests with very old OSes
(e.g. RHEL5) that have a virtio-net network interface using vhost
packet processing (the default), connected to a libvirt virtual
network, and configured to acquire the interface IP using DHCP. Since
RHEL5 has been out of support for several years already, we might as
well start off nftables support right by making it the default.

Distros that aren't quite ready to default to nftables (e.g. maybe
they're rebasing libvirt within a release and don't want to surprise
anyone with an automatic switch from iptables to nftables) can simply
run meson with "-Dfirewall_backend=iptables" during their official
package build.

In the extremely unlikely case that this causes a problem for a user,
they can work around the failure by adding "<driver name='qemu'/> to
the guest <interface> element.
