From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>
The icmp matches are implemented in ip_tables and ip6_tables,
respectively, so for normal iptables they are always available:
those modules are loaded once iptables calls getsockopt() to fetch
available module revisions.
In iptables-over-nftables case probing occurs via nfnetlink, so
these modules might not be loaded. Add aliases so modprobe can load
these when icmp/icmp6 is requested.
