Currently, when the libnftnl (part of meta-networking) PACKAGECONFIG is enabled for iptables, both legacy and nft-based binaries are built and installed in the image. However, the "iptables" symlink in this case still points to xtables-legacy-multi, rather than xtables-nft-multi. This patch adds a conditional check to replace the symlink to point to the latter if iptables is built with libnftnl support, which is consistent with other major distros (e.g. Fedora). The "iptables-legacy" symlink remains present and unmodified.
