netfilter: nat: fix spurious connection timeouts



Sander Eikelenboom bisected a NAT related regression down
to the l4proto->manip_pkt indirection removal.

I forgot that ICMP(v6) errors (e.g. PKTTOOBIG) can be set as related
to the existing conntrack entry.

Therefore, when passing the skb to nf_nat_ipv4/6_manip_pkt(), that
ended up calling the wrong l4 manip function, as tuple->dst.protonum
is the original flows l4 protocol (TCP, UDP, etc).

Set the dst protocol field to ICMP(v6), we already have a private copy
of the tuple due to the inversion of src/dst.
