This patch adds a function that applies or deletes filter rules to existing
chains. Rules referencing the given variable are instantiated with the given
value, or optionally deleted. For example, passing variable "IP" with different
values will install rules using the IP variable with each of the different
values. These rules can later be removed by calling this function with the
same variable and value and "delete" argument set to "1".
