getopt_long() would try to parse the negative priority as an option and
return -1 as it is not known:
| # nft add chain x y { type filter hook input priority -30\; }
| nft: invalid option -- '3'
Fix this by prefixing optstring with a plus character. This instructs
getopt_long() to not collate arguments but just stop after the first
non-option, leaving the rest for manual handling. In fact, this is just
what nft desires: mixing options with nft syntax leads to confusive
command lines anyway.
