Leverage nftables' support for flushing all chains of a table by
omitting NFTNL_RULE_CHAIN attribute in NFT_MSG_DELRULE payload.

The only caveat is with verbose output, as that still requires to have a
list of (existing) chains to iterate over. Apart from that, implementing
this shortcut is pretty straightforward: Don't retrieve a chain list and
just call __nft_rule_flush() directly which doesn't set above attribute
if chain name pointer is NULL.

A bigger deal is keeping rule cache consistent: Instead of just clearing
rule list for each flushed chain, flush_rule_cache() is updated to
iterate over all cached chains of the given table, clearing their rule
lists if not called for a specific chain.

While being at it, sort local variable declarations in nft_rule_flush()
from longest to shortest and drop the loop-local 'chain_name' variable
(but instead use 'chain' function parameter which is not used at that
point).
