Linux netfilter at some point inverted the meaning of the '--ctdir reply'

We probe for this netfilter change via an IMCP message over loopback and 3
filtering rules applied to INPUT. If the sent byte arrives, the newer
netfilter implementation has been detected and we convert the strings
in the iptables output to now match that inversion implemented by libvirt.
The downside of this is that probing of libvirt and this test tool are
independent and this test tool will only work correctly for all cases
if used with libvirt probing for 'ctdir inversion' as well.
Such is life - running newer TCK against older libvirt will thus
potentially expose the bugs in that older libvirt, unless it is also on
the older kernel.
