[PATCH nft] src: support for offload chain flags

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch extends the basechain definition to allow users to specify
the offload flag. This flag enables hardware offload if your drivers
supports it.

 # cat file.nft
 table netdev x {
    chain y {
       type filter hook ingress device eth0 priority 10; flags offload;
    }
 }
 # nft -f file.nft
