If destination port is above 32k and source port below 16k
assume this might cause 'port shadowing' where a 'new' inbound
connection matches an existing one, e.g.
inbound X:41234 -> Y:53 matches existing conntrack entry
Z:53 -> X:4123, where Z got natted to X.
In this case, new packet is natted to Z:53 which is likely
unwanted.
We could avoid the rewrite for connections that are not being forwarded,
but get_unique_tuple() and the callers don't propagate the required hook
information for this.
Also adjust test case.
