Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
in case that happens:
nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...
However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
packet can be dropped.
This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:
nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...
Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.

Most SIP devices use a source port of 5060/udp on SIP requests, so the
response automatically comes back to port 5060:
phone_ip:5060 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:5060 100 Trying
The newer Cisco IP phones, however, use a randomly chosen high source
port for the SIP request but expect the response on port 5060:
phone_ip:49173 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:5060 100 Trying
Standard Linux NAT, with or without nf_nat_sip, will send the reply back
to port 49173, not 5060:
phone_ip:49173 -> proxy_ip:5060 REGISTER
proxy_ip:5060 -> phone_ip:49173 100 Trying
But the phone is not listening on 49173, so it will never see the reply.
This patch modifies nf_*_sip to work around this quirk by extracting
the SIP response port from the Via: header, iff the source IP in the
packet header matches the source IP in the SIP request.

Add IPv6 support to the SIP NAT helper. There are no functional differences
to IPv4 NAT, just different formats for addresses.
