nft_ctx_new() has a flags argument, but currently no flags are supported. The documentation suggests to pass 0 (NFT_CTX_DEFAULT). Initializing the netlink socket happens by default already, we should do it for all flags. Also because nft_ctx_netlink_init() is not public API so it's not clear how the user gets a functioning context instance otherwise. If we ever want to not initialize the netlink socket for a context instance, then there should be a dedicated flag for doing that (and additional API for making that mode of operation usable).
