This series builds on two patches I've sent previously before, with
the main goal of supporting firewall configuration through an nftables
rules file. Offering the choice of iptables-nft as the default
iptables implementation (smilar to e.g. update-alternatives on Debian)
makes it easier to integrate that with legacy applications that rely
on the iptables command (e.g. Docker).

Patches 3-6 have been added in v2.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* clarify comments & commit messages
* nftables init script: Warning about missing flush in ruleset on reload
* nftables init script: check for rules file only on start
* nftables init script: return nft return code from start/stop functions
* iptables init script: start only if rules file exists
* add tests for init scripts
* use long form options in init scripts
* fix typecheck warnings

Fiona Klute (WIWA) (6):
  package/nftables: add init script
  package/iptables: optionally default to nftables compat
  package/iptables: check for rules in init script
  support/testing: test for nftables init script
  support/testing: include init script in iptables test
  support/testing: fix MyPy warnings about BRConfigTest
