interfaces: T6592: moving an interface between VRF instances failed

To reproduce:

    set vrf name mgmt table '150'
    set vrf name no-mgmt table '151'
    set interfaces ethernet eth2 vrf 'mgmt'
    commit

    set interfaces ethernet eth2 vrf no-mgmt
    commit

This resulted in an error while interacting with nftables:
[Errno 1] failed to run command: nft add element inet vrf_zones ct_iface_map { "eth2" : 151 }

The reason is that the old mapping entry still exists and was not removed.

This commit adds a new utility function get_vrf_tableid() and compares the
current and new VRF table IDs assigned to an interface. If the IDs do not
match, the nftables ct_iface_map entry is removed before the new entry is added.

(cherry picked from commit 452068ce78581bb6fba2df4dba197e95b9aeb33d)
