net/tcp: Ignore specific ICMPs for TCP-AO connections



Similarly to IPsec, RFC5925 prescribes:
  ">> A TCP-AO implementation MUST default to ignore incoming ICMPv4
  messages of Type 3 (destination unreachable), Codes 2-4 (protocol
  unreachable, port unreachable, and fragmentation needed -- ’hard
  errors’), and ICMPv6 Type 1 (destination unreachable), Code 1
  (administratively prohibited) and Code 4 (port unreachable) intended
  for connections in synchronized states (ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-
  WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, LAST-ACK, TIME-WAIT) that match MKTs."

A selftest (later in patch series) verifies that this attack is not
possible in this TCP-AO implementation.
