Fix connection resets during firewall sync #807

For very busy tcp connections there is a small possibility to receive
a TCP RST during the iptables sync. It happens only when --run-firewall=true is set.

In function NetworkPolicyController.syncPodFirewallChains a default REJECT
rule is chronologically added before the accept-RELATED,ESTABLISHED rule for ingress and
egress connections. In between of the creation of these two rules a connection reset can happen for already established connections.

The solution is to add the allow-RELATED,ESTABLISHED rule before the REJECT and
jumps to this iptables chain. I see no reason the REJECT rule is inserted before the ACCEPT rule,
but maybe I miss something.

A default `REJECT` rule is chronologically added before the allow-`RELATED,ESTABLISHED` rule for ingress and
egress connections.

This commits swaps the order of rule insertion.
