l4 protocols are demuxed by l3num, l4num pair.
However, almost all l4 trackers are l3 agnostic.
Only exceptions are:
- gre, icmp (ipv4 only)
- icmpv6 (ipv6 only)
This commit gets rid of the l3 mapping, l4 trackers can now be looked up
by their IPPROTO_XXX value alone, which gets rid of the additional l3
indirection.
For icmp, ipcmp6 and gre, add a check on state->pf and
return -NF_ACCEPT in case we're asked to track e.g. icmpv6-in-ipv4,
this seems more fitting than using the generic tracker.
Additionally we can kill the 2nd l4proto definitions that were needed
for v4/v6 split -- they are now the same so we can use single l4proto
struct for each protocol, rather than two.
The EXPORT_SYMBOLs can be removed as all these object files are
part of nf_conntrack with no external references.

Its unused, next patch will remove l4proto->l3proto number to simplify
l4 protocol demuxer lookup.

icmp(v6) are the only two layer four protocols that need the error()
callback (to handle icmp errors that are related to an established
connections, e.g. packet too big, port unreachable and the like).
Remove the error callback and handle these two special cases from the core.

Only two protocols need the ->error() function: icmp and icmpv6.
This is because icmp error mssages might be RELATED to an existing
connection (e.g. PMTUD, port unreachable and the like), and their
->error() handlers do this.
The error callback is already optional, so remove it for
udp and call them from ->packet() instead.
As the error() callback can call checksum functions that write to
skb->csum*, the const qualifier has to be removed as well.

->new() gets invoked after ->error() and before ->packet() if
a conntrack lookup has found no result for the tuple.
We can fold it into ->packet() -- the packet() implementations
can check if the conntrack is confirmed (new) or not
(already in hash).
If its unconfirmed, the conntrack isn't in the hash yet so current
skb created a new conntrack entry.
Only relevant side effect -- if packet() doesn't return NF_ACCEPT
but -NF_ACCEPT (or drop), while the conntrack was just created,
then the newly allocated conntrack is freed right away, rather than not
created in the first place.

nf_hook_state contains all the hook meta-information: netns, protocol family,
hook location, and so on.
Instead of only passing selected information, pass a pointer to entire
structure.
This will allow to merge the error and the packet handlers and remove
the ->new() function in followup patches.

Now that cttimeout support for nft_ct is in place, these should depend
on CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMEOUT otherwise we can crash when dumping the
policy if this option is not enabled.

This unifies ipv4 and ipv6 protocol trackers and removes the l3proto
abstraction.
This gets rid of all l3proto indirect calls and the need to do
a lookup on the function to call for l3 demux.
It increases module size by only a small amount (12kbyte), so this reduces
size because nf_conntrack.ko is useless without either nf_conntrack_ipv4
or nf_conntrack_ipv6 module.
