[PATCHv5] extensions: libipt_icmp: Add translation to nft

[Laura Garcia Liebana]

Add translation for icmp to nftables. Not supported types in nftables
are: any, network-unreachable, host-unreachable, protocol-unreachable,
port-unreachable, fragmentation-needed, source-route-failed,
network-unknown, host-unknown, network-prohibited, host-prohibited,
TOS-network-unreachable, TOS-host-unreachable, communication-prohibited,
host-precedence-violation, precedence-cutoff, network-redirect,
host-redirect, TOS-network-redirect, TOS-host-redirect,
ttl-zero-during-transit, ttl-zero-during-reassembly, ip-header-bad and required-option-missing.

Examples:

$ sudo iptables-translate -t filter -A INPUT -m icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip filter INPUT icmp type echo-reply counter accept

$ sudo iptables-translate -t filter -A INPUT -m icmp --icmp-type 3 -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip filter INPUT icmp type destination-unreachable counter accept

$ sudo iptables-translate -t filter -A INPUT -m icmp ! --icmp-type 3 -j ACCEPT
nft add rule ip filter INPUT icmp type != destination-unreachable counter accept

Please, this should be "Not supported icmp codes in nftables" instead.

> are: any, network-unreachable, host-unreachable, protocol-unreachable,

'any' is equivalent to void translation.

>From what I can see in iptables, this built-in match comes with this
wildcard 'any' icmp type just to check that the icmp header is
actually in place.

In nft, we can rely on the connection tracking for such a check.

So, if icmptype == 0xff, just return 1 with no printing I'd suggest.
