plugins: meta: portmap: Implement a teardown() fast path

Just attempt to delete the known rules referring to the custom chain,
then flush and delete it. If the latter succeeds, no referencing rules
are left and the job is done.

If the final flush'n'delete fails, fall back to the referencing rule
search which is slow with large rulesets.
