History

Florian Westphal 43b5dcaa3e parser: move qualified meta expression parsing to flex/bison

The meta keyword currently accepts 'STRING' arguments.
This was originally done to avoid pollution the global token namespace.

However, nowadays we do have flex scopes to avoid this.
Add the tokens currently handled implciitly via STRING within
META flex scope.

SECPATH is a compatibility alias, map this to IPSEC token.
IBRPORT/OBRPORT are also compatibility aliases, remove those tokens
and handle this directly in scanner.l.

This also avoids nft from printing tokens in help texts that are only
there for compatibility with old rulesets.

meta_key_parse() is retained for json input parser.
