- Split connTrackForPacket into 2 functions instead of switching on flag
- Replace hash with struct keys.
- Remove prefixes where possible
- Remove unused connStatus, timeout
- Flatten ConnTrack struct a bit - some intermediate structs had no meaning
outside of the context of their parent.
- Protect conn.tcb with a mutex
- Remove redundant error checking (e.g. when is pkt.NetworkHeader valid)
- Clarify that HandlePacket and CreateConnFor are the expected entrypoints for
ConnTrack

Netstack has traditionally parsed headers on-demand as a packet moves up the
stack. This is conceptually simple and convenient, but incompatible with
iptables, where headers can be inspected and mangled before even a routing
decision is made.
This changes header parsing to happen early in the incoming packet path, as soon
as the NIC gets the packet from a link endpoint. Even if an invalid packet is
found (e.g. a TCP header of insufficient length), the packet is passed up the
stack for proper stats bookkeeping.

Historically we've been passing PacketBuffer by shallow copying through out
the stack. Right now, this is only correct as the caller would not use
PacketBuffer after passing into the next layer in netstack.
With new buffer management effort in gVisor/netstack, PacketBuffer will
own a Buffer (to be added). Internally, both PacketBuffer and Buffer may
have pointers and shallow copying shouldn't be used.
Updates #2404.

Connection tracking is used to track packets in prerouting and
output hooks of iptables. The NAT rules modify the tuples in
connections. The connection tracking code modifies the packets by
looking at the modified tuples.
