Before this patch, the nf_loginfo parameter specified the logging
configuration in case the specified default logger was loaded. This
patch updates the semantics of the nf_loginfo parameter in
nf_log_packet() which now indicates the logger that you explicitly
want to use.

Thus, nf_log_packet() is exposed as an unified interface which
internally routes the log message to the corresponding logger type
by family.

The module dependencies are expressed by the new nf_logger_find_get()
and nf_logger_put() functions which bump the logger module refcount.
Thus, you can not remove logger modules that are used by rules anymore.

Another important effect of this change is that the family specific
module is only loaded when required. Therefore, xt_LOG and nft_log
will just trigger the autoload of the nf_log_{ip,ip6} modules
according to the family.

The plain text logging is currently embedded into the xt_LOG target.
In order to be able to use the plain text logging from nft_log, as a
first step, this patch moves the family specific code to the following
files and Kconfig symbols:

1) net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_log_ip.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV4
2) net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_log_ip6.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_IPV6
3) net/netfilter/nf_log_common.c: CONFIG_NF_LOG_COMMON

These new modules will be required by xt_LOG and nft_log. This patch
is based on original patch from Arturo Borrero Gonzalez.
