Import nftables maps: one port forward or rule per element

A DNAT map (named or anonymous) becomes one port forward per element,
named after the map; a verdict map becomes one rule per element, in
place, with jumps inlined. A lookup matches one element at most, so the
expanded rules do the same. A named map that can't be expanded (keyed by
several fields) is left out with a note instead of a raw rule naming it,
which nftables would refuse. Test fixture made with nft 1.1.3.
