netfilter: conntrack: remove l3proto abstraction



This unifies ipv4 and ipv6 protocol trackers and removes the l3proto
abstraction.

This gets rid of all l3proto indirect calls and the need to do
a lookup on the function to call for l3 demux.

It increases module size by only a small amount (12kbyte), so this reduces
size because nf_conntrack.ko is useless without either nf_conntrack_ipv4
or nf_conntrack_ipv6 module.
