Add inbound handler to the alias_ftp module. It helps handle active
FTP transfer mode for the case with external clients and FTP server behind
NAT. Fix passive FTP transfer case for server behind NAT using redirect with
external IP address different from NAT ip address.

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

Makes it possible to have multiple packet aliasing instances in a
single process by moving all static and global variables into an
instance structure called "struct libalias".
Redefine a new API based on s/PacketAlias/LibAlias/g
Add new "instance" argument to all functions in the new API.
Implement old API in terms of the new API.
Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call
Managers. With this code, one can use a Cisco IP phone behind a FreeBSD
NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.

latter retains its source IP address. This is in support of the
"static NAT only" mode.
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!

the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.
