This adds the possibility to select a network locking backend during build without the need to change the sources.

It also introduces a test run with iptables uninstalled only relying on nftables.

As different Linux distributions are switching away from iptables
to nftables, this makes it easier to compile CRIU with a different
default network locking backend. Instead of changing the source
code it is now possible to select the nft backend like this:

    make NETWORK_LOCK_DEFAULT=NETWORK_LOCK_NFTABLES

The building section also contains the information how to change the
network locking backend without source code changes.

This uses the same formatting for the make command examples as seen in
README.md.

The tests in others/rpc are running as non-root and
fail silently if the nftables network locking backend is used.

This switches those tests to skip the network locking.

If the tests in others/rpc are failing no information about that error
can be seen in a CI run. This change displays the log files if the test
fails.

There are a couple of tests that require the iptables binary.

Instead of adding a checkskip script, which could also handle this,
this change now uses CRIU's feature detection to see if the CRIU
feature 'has_ipt_legacy' exists.

@mihalicyn That adds a compile time option to easily switch between backends.

@danishprakash this is a PR which should help you building RPMs with a different network locking backend.
