This provides most of the rule handling needed to add a new rule to a VCAP.
To add a rule a client must follow these steps:

1) Allocate a new rule (provide an id or get one automatically assigned)
2) Add keys to the rule
3) Add actions to the rule
4) Optionally set a keyset on the rule
5) Optionally set an actionset on the rule
6) Validate the rule (this will add keyset and actionset if not specified
   in the previous steps)
7) Add the rule (if the validation was successful)
8) Free the rule instance (a copy has been added to the VCAP)

The validation step will fail if there are no keysets with the requested
keys, or there are no actionsets with the requested actions.
The validation will also fail if the keyset is not configured for the port
for the requested protocol).

Validating a rule also modifies it. I think validation and modification
should generally be kept apart. But it looks like it might be hard with
the current design since you need to add the fields to then check the
space it takes, and the rule sizes can depend on the hardware.

Tested on Microchip PCB135 switch.

Hmm.  You got a point.  I just wanted to keep the number of API calls down a bit, so the validation
also ensures that the rule has a keyset type field and any other default fields that is needed in
the particular VCAP and setting the keyset defines the size of the rule, so it all needs to fit
together in the end.
For now I would like to keep this as just one validation call.
