Alexander V. Chernikov b074b7bbce Make ipfw tables use names as used-level identifier internally:
* Add namedobject set-aware api capable of searching/allocation objects by their name/idx.
* Switch tables code to use string ids for configuration tasks.
* Change locking model: most configuration changes are protected with UH lock, runtime-visible are protected with both locks.
* Reduce number of arguments passed to ipfw_table_add/del by using separate structure.
* Add internal V_fw_tables_sets tunable (set to 0) to prepare for set-aware tables (requires opcodes/client support)
* Implement typed table referencing (and tables are implicitly allocated with all state like radix ptrs on reference)
* Add "destroy" ipfw(8) using new IP_FW_DELOBJ opcode

Namedobj more detailed:
* Blackbox api providing methods to add/del/search/enumerate objects
* Statically-sized hashes for names/indexes
* Per-set bitmask to indicate free indexes
* Separate methods for index alloc/delete/resize

Basically, there should not be any user-visible changes except the following:
* reducing table_max is not supported
* flush & add change table type won't work if table is referenced
