wg-quick: syntax error, unexpected saddr

Hi Eddie,

A new Slackware maintainer (CC'd) has been found.

the version of nft(8), but also the options in your kernel. We check
for these ones in Gentoo:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-vpn/wireguard-tools/wireguard-tools-1.0.20200102.ebuild#n39
