netfilter: nf_tables: export set count and backend name to userspace
nf_tables picks a suitable set backend implementation (bitmap, hash, rbtree..) based on the userspace requirements. Figuring out the chosen backend requires information about the set flags and the kernel version. Export this to userspace so nft can include this information in '--debug=netlink' output.
