Hm, I just noticed that this will not work that easy.

git grep shows several NAT protocol helpers that rely on
nf_conntrack_man_proto under net/ipv4/netfilter/, we need to change
those as well to use the new definition of nf_nat_range.

I think I prefer the change that I'm proposing that exporting the
whole nf_conntrack_tuple.h header file.
