[NETFILTER]: Make conntrack timeouts become sysctls.
This patch introduces the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ directory for=20 the tuneable parameters of the conntrack engine of netfilter. The parameters which can currently be fine-tuned (if required at all)=20 are the ip_conntrack_max, and the conntrack timeout parameters in seconds. The default timeout value for the TCP CLOSE_WAIT state is raised to 3 days, which should cause less problems with long-lived half-closed TCP sessions. For the sake of compatibility with 2.4,=20 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max is duplicated as=20 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max as well.
