This patch extends --mask-src and --mask-dst to also work
with the conntrack table, with commands -L, -D and -E.

This is useful to everyone, thanks a lot.

Several comments:

* Could you add tests to tests/conntrack/testsuite/ ? There is a very
  simple tool that you can compile and run the script.

* I guess the answer is no, but does this break backward? The former
  syntax needs to work still to avoid breaking existing scripts.

* Could you help consolidate the filtering code?

static int ct_filter(struct nf_conntrack *obj, struct nf_conntrack *ct)
{
        if (filter_nat(obj, ct) ||
            filter_mark(ct) ||
            filter_label(ct) ||
            filter_address(obj, ct))
                return 1;

        return 0;
}

From event and dump this should be the same.

For deletion, I can see no connlabel support. @Florian: Any reason to
skip deletion per connlabel filtering?

Update is a bit more problematic since --mark is interpreted to be the
new mark, but we have no way to filter by mark and set new one (that
kind of sucks since there is not easy way to support this unless we
add some --old-mark option).

more nitpick comments below.

Any chance you can pass global_family as parameter?

Can you use a switch (family) instead?

You can probably wrap this code in a function so we can later on reuse
it if needed. ct_ip6_cmp() ?

Ignore the return value. It shouldn't happen that we unset and already
unset attribute. No need for this error message.

Rename this to ct_filter_init() so someone else later can reuse it to
add more filtering capabilities.
