iptables-restore: support acquiring the lock.

Currently, ip[6]tables-restore does not perform any locking, so it
is not safe to use concurrently with ip[6]tables.

This patch makes ip[6]tables-restore wait for the lock if -w
was specified. Arguments to -w and -W are supported in the same
was as they are in ip[6]tables.

The lock is not acquired on startup. Instead, it is acquired when
a new table handle is created (on encountering '*') and released
when the table is committed (COMMIT). This makes it possible to
keep long-running iptables-restore processes in the background
(for example, reading commands from a pipe opened by a system
management daemon) and simultaneously run iptables commands.

If -w is not specified, then the command proceeds without taking
the lock.

Tested as follows:

1. Run iptables-restore -w, and check that iptables commands work
   with or without -w.
2. Type "*filter" into the iptables-restore input. Verify that
   a) ip[6]tables commands without -w fail with "another app is
      currently holding the xtables lock...".
   b) ip[6]tables commands with "-w 2" fail after 2 seconds.
   c) ip[6]tables commands with "-w" hang until "COMMIT" is
      typed into the iptables-restore window.
3. With the lock held by an ip6tables-restore process:
     strace -e flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables-restore -w 1 -W 100000
   shows 11 calls to flock and fails.
4. Run an iptables-restore with -w and one without -w, and check:
   a) Type "*filter" in the first and then the second, and the
      second exits with an error.
   b) Type "*filter" in the second and "*filter" "-S" "COMMIT"
      into the first. The rules are listed only when the first
      copy sees "COMMIT".
