Most members in the context doesn't change, so there is no need to
memset it and reassign most of its members on every iteration.  Moved
that code out of the loop.

Fixes: 49900d448ac9 ("libnftables: Move library stuff out of main.c")

This commit merely moved the code from src/main.c into the current
location. I would rather point at a72315d2bad47 ("src: add rule batching
support"), which introduced the loop (and already contains some of the
pointless assignments). Note that commit is from 2013. :)

Use '.list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(ctx.list),' here. Refer to cache_update() in
src/rule.c for inspiration. :)

Drop this.

Move ctx.batch init into declaration as well. Drop dedicated 'batch'
variable and replace by 'ctx.batch'.

Thanks, Phil
