The nftables implementation made use of concatenation of ranges when
creating the set "firewall-allow", but the support was not available
before kernel 5.6. Therefore, nftables mode couldn't run on earlier
kernels, while 5.4 is still widely used.
An alternative of concatenation of ranges is to create a separate
firewall chain for every service port that needs firewalling, and jump
to the service's firewall chain from the common firewall chain via a
rule with vmap.
Renaming from "firewall" to "firewall-ips" is required when changing the
set to the map to support existing clusters to upgrade, otherwise it
would fail to create the map. Besides, "firewall-ips" corresponds to the
"service-ips" map, later we can add use "firewall-nodeports" if it's
determined that NodePort traffic should be subject to
LoadBalancerSourceRanges.

And update most of the comments to refer to "nftables" rather than
"iptables" (even though it doesn't actually do any nftables updating
at this point).
For now the proxy also internally creates a
utiliptablestesting.FakeIPTables to keep the existing sync code
compiling.
