This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).

[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'
           srcipaddr='10.1.2.3' srcipmask='32'
           dscp='33'
           srcportstart='20' srcportend='21'
           dstportstart='100' dstportend='1111'/>
</rule>
[...]

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.
