very little code, so it really doesn't make sense to have extra
modules or even a kconfig knob for this.

Merge them and make functionality available unconditionally.
The merge makes inet family route support trivial, so add it
as well here.

Merge the ipv4 and ipv6 nat chain type. This is the last
missing piece which allows to provide inet family support
for nat in a follow patch.

The kconfig knobs for ipv4/ipv6 nat chain are removed, the
nat chain type will be built unconditionally if NFT_NAT
expression is enabled.

This makes the last of the modular l4 trackers 'bool'.

After this, all infrastructure to handle dynamic l4 protocol registration
becomes obsolete and can be removed in followup patches.

This removes the (now empty) nf_nat_l4proto struct, all its instances
and all the no longer needed runtime (un)register functionality.

nf_nat_need_gre() can be axed as well: the module that calls it (to
load the no-longer-existing nat_gre module) also calls other nat core
functions. GRE nat is now always available if kernel is built with it.

This removes the last l4proto indirection, the two callers, the l3proto
packet mangling helpers for ipv4 and ipv6, now call the
nf_nat_l4proto_manip_pkt() helper.

nf_nat_proto_{dccp,tcp,sctp,gre,icmp,icmpv6} are left behind, even though
they contain no functionality anymore to not clutter this patch.

Next patch will remove the empty files and the nf_nat_l4proto
struct.

nf_nat_proto_udp.c is renamed to nf_nat_proto.c, as it now contains the
other nat manip functionality as well, not just udp and udplite.

all protocols did set this to nf_nat_l4proto_nlattr_to_range, so
just call it directly.

The important difference is that we'll now also call it for
protocols that we don't support (i.e., nf_nat_proto_unknown did
not provide .nlattr_to_range).

However, there should be no harm, even icmp provided this callback.
If we don't implement a specific l4nat for this, nothing would make
use of this information, so adding a big switch/case construct listing
all supported l4protocols seems a bit pointless.

This change leaves a single function pointer in the l4proto struct.
