`Conn.AddTable` use netlink.Create which will not emit an error
if the table we want to create already existed,
just like the `nft add table ...` command works.
The caller should use netlink.Excl to
get an EEXIST error for that already existed,
So I add another method `Conn.CreateTable`
which works just like `nft create table ...` command.

After 7879d7ecf6, it seems that
any multi-message operation performed without CAP_SYS_ADMIN will
leads to forever block inside nftables.Conn.Flush.
For example:
```go
package main
import "github.com/google/nftables"
func main() {
conn, err := nftables.New()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
t := conn.AddTable(&nftables.Table{})
err = conn.AddSet(&nftables.Set{Table: t}, []nftables.SetElement{})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
conn.AddSet(&nftables.Set{Table: t}, []nftables.SetElement{})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
err = conn.Flush()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
return
}
```
That's because that although we send multiple messages on netlink
socket, kernel will only sends one permission error message as reply.

When you flush multiple messages/ops on a connection, and if flush fails
to apply, the netlink connection returns errors per command. Since we
are returning on noticing the first error, the rest of the errors are
buffered and leaks into the result of next flush.
This pull request invokes `conn.Receive()` * number of messages to drain
any buffered errors in the connection.
Fix the marshall of the hash seed to be conditional, only if it is
explicitly set, we need to add it to the kernel as stated on the
libnftl and nftables projects.
Refence: https://git.netfilter.org/nftables/tree/src/netlink_linearize.c?id=25e7b99cc450490c38becb03d8bddd0199cfd3f9#n174
Otherwise, having a hash expression similar to this:
```
ip daddr set jhash tcp sport mod 2 seed 0x0 map { 0 : 192.168.0.1, 1 : 192.168.2.2 }
```
end up setting only the first IP and ignoring the second one.

This TLV format is compatible with the one used by libnftables.
Hence with this change, we can now de/encode comments and other
user data information which is compatible with the Netfilter
command line tooling.

- fixes issue #209 where two unit tests for alignedbuff were incorrectly calculating the expected marshalled data length on 32bit machines (whereas actual padding/alignment itself was done correctly).
- adds documentation reference to kernel's xtables.h UAPI regarding alignment.
The Objref expression was not considered when parsing raw expressions
bytes to construct nftables expressions.
Add unit test to check that a rule with an Objref expression is
properly obtained by GetRules().
