Michal Rostecki 9d6f1e9975 firewall: add firewalld functionality to firewall plugin
Example of usage, which uses flannel for allocating IP
addresses for containers and then registers them in `trusted`
zone in firewalld:

{
  "cniVersion": "0.3.1",
  "name": "flannel-firewalld",
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "cbr0",
      "type": "flannel",
      "delegate": {
        "isDefaultGateway": true
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "firewall",
      "backend": "firewalld",
      "zone": "trusted"
    }
  ]
}

Fixes #114

# firewall plugin
## Overview
This plugin creates firewall rules to allow traffic to/from container IP address via the host network .
It does not create any network interfaces and therefore does not set up connectivity by itself.
It is only useful when used in addition to other plugins.
## Operation
The following network configuration file
```json
{
"cniVersion": "0.3.1",
"name": "bridge-firewalld",
"plugins": [
{
"type": "bridge",
"bridge": "cni0",
"isGateway": true,
"ipMasq": true,
"ipam": {
"type": "host-local",
"subnet": "10.88.0.0/16",
"routes": [
{ "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }
]
}
},
{
"type": "firewall",
}
]
}
```
will allow any IP addresses configured by earlier plugins to send/receive traffic via the host.
A successful result would simply be an empty result, unless a previous plugin passed a previous result, in which case this plugin will return that previous result.
## Backends
This plugin supports multiple firewall backends that implement the desired functionality.
Available backends include `iptables` and `firewalld` and may be selected with the `backend` key.
If no `backend` key is given, the plugin will use firewalld if the service exists on the D-Bus system bus.
If no firewalld service is found, it will fall back to iptables.
When the `iptables` backend is used, the above example will create two new iptables chains in the `filter` table and add rules that allow the given interface to send/receive traffic.
When the `firewalld` backend is used, the above example will place the `cni0` interface into firewalld's `trusted` zone, allowing it to send/receive traffic.
