Update NAT64LSN implementation:
o most of data structures and relations were modified to be able support
large number of translation states. Now each supported protocol can
use full ports range. Ports groups now are belongs to IPv4 alias
addresses, not hosts. Each ports group can keep several states chunks.
This is controlled with new `states_chunks` config option. States
chunks allow to have several translation states for single alias address
and port, but for different destination addresses.
o by default all hash tables now use jenkins hash.
o ConcurrencyKit and epoch(9) is used to make NAT64LSN lockless on fast path.
o one NAT64LSN instance now can be used to handle several IPv6 prefixes,
special prefix "::" value should be used for this purpose when instance
is created.
o due to modified internal data structures relations, the socket opcode
that does states listing was changed.

CLAT is customer-side translator that algorithmically translates 1:1
private IPv4 addresses to global IPv6 addresses, and vice versa.
It is implemented as part of ipfw_nat64 kernel module. When module
is loaded or compiled into the kernel, it registers "nat64clat" external
action. External action named instance can be created using `create`
command and then used in ipfw rules. The create command accepts two
IPv6 prefixes `plat_prefix` and `clat_prefix`. If plat_prefix is ommitted,
IPv6 NAT64 Well-Known prefix 64:ff9b::/96 will be used.
# ipfw nat64clat CLAT create clat_prefix SRC_PFX plat_prefix DST_PFX
# ipfw add nat64clat CLAT ip4 from IPv4_PFX to any out
# ipfw add nat64clat CLAT ip6 from DST_PFX to SRC_PFX in

to switch the output method in run-time. Also document some sysctl
variables that can by changed for NAT64 module.
NAT64 had compile time option IPFIREWALL_NAT64_DIRECT_OUTPUT to use
if_output directly from nat64 module. By default is used netisr based
output method. Now both methods can be used, but they require different
handling by rules.

o Modify ipfw(8) to be able set any prefix6 not just Well-Known,
and also show configured prefix6;
o relocate some definitions and macros into proper place;
o convert nat64_debug and nat64_allow_private variables to be
VNET-compatible;
o add struct nat64_config that keeps generic configuration needed
to NAT64 code;
o add nat64_check_prefix6() function to check validness of specified
by user IPv6 prefix according to RFC6052;
o use nat64_check_private_ip4() and nat64_embed_ip4() functions
instead of nat64_get_ip4() and nat64_set_ip4() macros. This allows
to use any configured IPv6 prefixes that are allowed by RFC6052;
o introduce NAT64_WKPFX flag, that is set when IPv6 prefix is
Well-Known IPv6 prefix. It is used to reduce overhead to check this;
o modify nat64lsn_cfg and nat64stl_cfg structures to use nat64_config
structure. And respectivelly modify the rest of code;
o remove now unused ro argument from nat64_output() function;
o remove __FreeBSD_version ifdef, NAT64 was not merged to older versions;
o add commented -DIPFIREWALL_NAT64_DIRECT_OUTPUT flag to module's Makefile
as example.

The module works together with ipfw(4) and implemented as its external
action module.
Stateless NAT64 registers external action with name nat64stl. This
keyword should be used to create NAT64 instance and to address this
instance in rules. Stateless NAT64 uses two lookup tables with mapped
IPv4->IPv6 and IPv6->IPv4 addresses to perform translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Create lookup tables:
# ipfw table T46 create type addr valtype ipv6
# ipfw table T64 create type addr valtype ipv4
2. Fill T46 and T64 tables.
3. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
4. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64stl NAT create table4 T46 table6 T64
5. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from any to table(T46)
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from table(T64) to 64:ff9b::/96
6. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.
Stateful NAT64 registers external action with name nat64lsn. The only
one option required to create nat64lsn instance - prefix4. It defines
the pool of IPv4 addresses used for translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
2. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64lsn NAT create prefix4 A.B.C.D/28
3. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip from any to A.B.C.D/28
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip6 from any to 64:ff9b::/96
4. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.
