netfilter: implement NFPROTO_UNSPEC as a wildcard for extensions


When a match or target is looked up using xt_find_{match,target},
Xtables will also search the NFPROTO_UNSPEC module list. This allows
for protocol-independent extensions (like xt_time) to be reused from
other components (e.g. arptables, ebtables).

Extensions that take different codepaths depending on match->family
or target->family of course cannot use NFPROTO_UNSPEC within the
registration structure (e.g. xt_pkttype).
