netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue code

This patch allows you to attach the timeout policy via the
CT target, it adds a new revision of the target to ensure
backward compatibility. Moreover, it also contains the glue
code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout
to the given flow.

Example usage (it requires installing the nfct tool and
libnetfilter_cttimeout):

1) create the timeout policy:

 nfct timeout add tcp-policy0 inet tcp \
	established 1000 close 10 time_wait 10 last_ack 10

2) attach the timeout policy to the packet:

 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp -j CT --timeout tcp-policy0

You have to install the following user-space software:

a) libnetfilter_cttimeout:
   git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_cttimeout

b) nfct:
   git://git.netfilter.org/nfct

You also have to get iptables with -j CT --timeout support.
