This opcode can be used to attach some data to external action opcode.
And unlike to O_EXTERNAL_INSTANCE opcode, this opcode does not require
creating of named instance to pass configuration arguments to external
action handler. The data is coming just next to O_EXTERNAL_ACTION opcode.
The userlevel part currenly supports formatting for opcode with ipfw_insn
size, by default it expects u16 numeric value in the arg1.

objects with the same name in different sets.
Add optional manage_sets() callback to objects rewriting framework.
It is intended to implement handler for moving and swapping named
object's sets. Add ipfw_obj_manage_sets() function that implements
generic sets handler. Use new callback to implement sets support for
lookup tables.
External actions objects are global and they don't support sets.
Modify eaction_findbyname() to reflect this.
ipfw(8) now may fail to move rules or sets, because some named objects
in target set may have conflicting names.
Note that ipfw_obj_ntlv type was changed, but since lookup tables
actually didn't support sets, this change is harmless.

It allows implementing loadable kernel modules with new actions and
without needing to modify kernel headers and ipfw(8). The module
registers its action handler and keyword string, that will be used
as action name. Using generic syntax user can add rules with this
action. Also ipfw(8) can be easily modified to extend basic syntax
for external actions, that become a part base system.
Sample modules will coming soon.
