    Allow to request metadata proxy only with redirection

    metadata service should be requested on 169.254.169.254:80 and router
    namespace iptables rules redirect the request to the metadata-ns-proxy
    on 127.0.0.1:$metadata_port. But currently the metadata-ns-proxy can be
    requested directly on $router-ip:$metadata_port.

    To avoid such behavior, this change marks packets redirection in mangle
    table (PREROUTING), redirects (PREROUTING) them in nat table, accepts
    them in filter table (INPUT) using the mark. Packets send to the
    metadata proxy port without mark (so directly) are dropped. The
    mark can be configured through the new option metadata_access_mark.

    Remark: redirected packets are not local packets (in general), so
    setting metadata proxy server host to 127.0.0.1 will disallow direct
    queries but so redirected queries.
