Add the operation performed (register or replace) to the NETFILTER_CFG and
NETFILTER_CFGSOLO records.

Here are sample records for accompanied:
  type=NETFILTER_CFG msg=audit(1494981627.248:9764): op=replace family=7 table=broute entries=0

and unaccompanied cases:
  type=UNKNOWN[1331] msg=audit(1494815998.178:167): auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 pid=598 comm="ip6tables-resto" exe="/usr/sbin/xtables-multi" op=replace family=10 table=filter entries=4
