netfilter: bridge: add generic packet logger
This adds the generic plain text packet loggger for bridged packets.
It routes the logging message to the real protocol packet logger.
I decided not to refactor the ebt_log code for two reasons:
1) The ebt_log output is not consistent with the IPv4 and IPv6
Netfilter packet loggers. The output is different for no good
reason and it adds redundant code to handle packet logging.
2) To avoid breaking backward compatibility for applications
outthere that are parsing the specific ebt_log output, the ebt_log
output has been left as is. So only nftables will use the new
consistent logging format for logged bridged packets.
More decisions coming in this patch:
1) This also removes ebt_log as default logger for bridged packets.
Thus, nf_log_packet() routes packet to this new packet logger
instead. This doesn't break backward compatibility since
nf_log_packet() is not used to log packets in plain text format
from anywhere in the ebtables/netfilter bridge code.
2) The new bridge packet logger also performs a lazy request to
register the real IPv4, ARP and IPv6 netfilter packet loggers.
If the real protocol logger is no available (not compiled or the
module is not available in the system, not packet logging happens.
