Implement the self locking object list for nwfilter object lists
that uses two hash tables to store the nwfilter object by UUID or
by Name.
As part of this alter the uuid argument to virNWFilterObjLookupByUUID
to expect an already formatted uuidstr.
Alter the existing list traversal code to implement the hash table
find/lookup/search functionality.

How can this work? What if there's another thread waiting for the write
lock (e.g. just to define an NWFilter)? The Unlock(nwfilters) wakes up
the other thread, it does its job, unlocks the list waking us in turn.
So we lock @nwfilters for writing and add something into the hash table
- without all the checks (e.g. duplicity check) done earlier.
