python: Add flow filtering syntax.
Based on pyparsing, create a very simple filtering syntax. It supports basic logic statements (and, &, or, ||, not, !), numerical operations (<, >), equality (=, !=), and masking (~=). The latter is only supported in certain fields (IntMask, EthMask, IPMask). Masking operation is semantically equivalent to "includes", therefore: ip_src ~= 192.168.1.1 means that ip_src field is either a host IP address equal to 192.168.1.1 or an IPMask that includes it (e.g: 192.168.1.1/24).
