netpol: anchor base-chain jump on veth only, not pod IP

The previous base-chain jump matched iifname/oifname AND saddr/daddr ==
pod eth0 IP. Anycast traffic has the anycast IP as daddr, not the pod's
eth0 unicast — so anycast packets skipped the policy chain entirely and
fell through to the forward chain's policy=accept.

The veth uniquely belongs to one pod. Anything traversing it is to or
from that pod by definition (anycast, unicast, future overlay routes).
Match on iifname/oifname alone; let the pod-side chain's accept lines +
trailing drop be the policy.

Validated end-to-end on host001: anycast nginx pod with default-deny
ingress NetPol now correctly drops traffic from any peer; adding an
allow-from-podSelector rule unblocks only the matched peer.
