Since we have proper python package, use it instead of hacky one-file
package. This will ease installation and packaging, including switching
to python3.
Call it just after creating base chains in iptables/nftables. This allow
the user to modify how those rules are plugged in, add custom rules at
beginning/end etc.

Chain name in IPv6 cannot be longer than 29 chars, so strip IPv6 prefix
from it.
ICMP on IPv6 is a different protocol than on IPv4 - handle iptables rule
accordingly.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#718
When qubes-firewall service is started, modify firewall to have "DROP"
policy, so if something goes wrong, no data got leaked.
But keep default action "ACCEPT" in case of legitimate service stop, or
not starting it at all - because one may choose to not use this service
at all.
Achieve this by adding "DROP" rule at the end of QBS-FIREWALL chain and
keep it there while qubes-firewall service is running.

- IPv6 support
- unit tests included
- nftables version support running along with other firewall loaded
