iptables/nftables support responding to tcp packets with tcp resets.
The generated tcp reset packet passes through both output and postrouting
netfilter hooks, but conntrack will never see them because the generated
skb has its ->nfct pointer copied over from the packet that triggered the
reset rule.
If the reset rule is used for established connections, this
may result in the conntrack entry to be around for a very long
time (default timeout is 5 days).
One way to avoid this would be to not copy the nf_conn pointer
so that the rest packet passes through conntrack too.
Problem is that output rules might not have the same conntrack
zone setup as the prerouting ones, so its possible that the
reset skb won't find the correct entry. Generating a template
entry for the skb seems error prone as well.
Add an explicit "closing" function that switches a confirmed
conntrack entry to closed state and wire this up for tcp.
If the entry isn't confirmed, no action is needed because
the conntrack entry will never be committed to the table.
