MASQUERADE, S/DNAT and REDIRECT already call functions that depend on the
conntrack module.
However, since the conntrack hooks are now registered in a lazy fashion
(i.e., only when needed) a symbol reference is not enough.
Thus, when something is added to a nat table, make sure that it will see
packets by calling nf_ct_netns_get() which will register the conntrack
hooks in the current netns.
An alternative would be to add these dependencies to the NAT table.
However, that has problems when using non-modular builds -- we might
register e.g. ipv6 conntrack before its initcall has run, leading to NULL
deref crashes since its per-netns storage has not yet been allocated.
Adding the dependency in the modules instead has the advantage that nat
table also does not register its hooks until rules are added.

Place pointer to hook state in xt_action_param structure instead of
copying the fields that we need. After this change xt_action_param fits
into one cacheline.
This patch also adds a set of new wrapper functions to fetch relevant
hook state structure fields.

Combine more modules since the actual code is so small anyway that the
kmod metadata and the module in its loaded state totally outweighs the
combined actual code size.
IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP becomes a compat option; IP6_NF_TARGET_NETMAP
is completely eliminated since it has not see a release yet.
