[PATCH v6 ipsec-next] xfrm: introduce forwarding of ICMP Error messages

This commit aligns with RFC 4301, Section 6, and addresses the
requirement to forward unauthenticated ICMP error messages that do not
match any xfrm policies. It utilizes the ICMP payload as an skb and
performs a reverse lookup. If a policy match is found, forward
the packet.

The ICMP payload typically contains a partial IP packet that is likely
responsible for the error message.

The following error types will be forwarded:
- IPv4 ICMP error types: ICMP_DEST_UNREACH & ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED
- IPv6 ICMPv6 error types: ICMPV6_DEST_UNREACH, ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG,
ICMPV6_TIME_EXCEED

To implement this feature, a reverse lookup has been added to the xfrm
forward path, making use of the ICMP payload as the skb.

To enable this functionality from user space, the XFRM_POLICY_ICMP flag
should be added to the outgoing and forward policies, and the
XFRM_STATE_ICMP flag should be set on incoming states.

e.g.
ip xfrm policy add flag icmp tmpl

ip xfrm policy
src 192.0.2.0/24 dst 192.0.1.0/25
dir out priority 2084302 ptype main flag icmp

ip xfrm state add ...flag icmp

ip xfrm state
root@west:~#ip x s
src 192.1.2.23 dst 192.1.2.45
proto esp spi 0xa7b76872 reqid 16389 mode tunnel
replay-window 32 flag icmp af-unspec

Changes since v5:
- fix return values bool->int, feedback from Steffen

Changes since v4:
- split the series to only ICMP erorr forwarding

Changes since v3: no code chage
- add missing white spaces detected by checkpatch.pl

Changes since v2: reviewed by Steffen Klassert
- user consume_skb instead of kfree_skb for the inner skb
- fixed newskb leaks in error paths
- free the newskb once inner flow is decoded with change due to
commit 7a0207094f1b ("xfrm: policy: replace session decode with flow dissector")
- if xfrm_decode_session_reverse() on inner payload fails ignore.
do not increment error counter

Changes since v1:
- Move IPv6 variable declaration inside IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)

Changes since RFC:
- Fix calculation of ICMPv6 header length
