Refactor iptables chain detection to centralize and default to DOCKER-USER
Move chain detection logic from firewall to iptables manager for better encapsulation. The manager now auto-detects both the iptables binary and chain (DOCKER-USER or FORWARD) based on the presence of the Docker-managed chain, but always defaults to DOCKER-USER for consistency. This simplifies firewall code and ensures proper Docker integration regardless of iptables version.
