If nftables has libxtables support, it will utilize the .xlate callbacks to print compat expressions in native nftables syntax. Users may miss the fact that what they're seeing is not the reality and assume they may manipulate (including store and reload) the ruleset using nftables. This wasn't a big deal if iptables-nft understood all the translations libxtables offers. To start catching up on this, add an optional replay mode to xlate-test.py checking if what was translated is correctly parsed back into the original input (or at least a semantical equivalent). Patches 1 and 2 are prep work, patch 3 has the gory details.
