netfilter: ctnetlink: add callbacks to the per-proto nlattrs

There is added a single callback for the l3 proto helper.  The two
callbacks for the l4 protos are necessary because of the general
structure of a ctnetlink event, which is in short:

 CTA_TUPLE_ORIG
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_TUPLE_REPLY
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_ID
 ...
 CTA_PROTOINFO
   <l4-proto-attributes>
 CTA_TUPLE_MASTER
   <l3/l4-proto-attributes>

Therefore the formular is

 size := sizeof(generic-nlas) + 3 * sizeof(tuple_nlas) + sizeof(protoinfo_nlas)

Some of the NLAs are optional, e. g. CTA_TUPLE_MASTER, which is only
set if it's an expected connection.  But the number of optional NLAs is
small enough to prevent netlink_trim() from reallocating if calculated
properly.
