netfilter: conntrack: do not enable connection tracking unless needed 

Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current
conntrack behaviour is unreasonable.

Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace,
its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive.  Commit
481fa37347 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl")
attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by
adding a sysctl to change it.

However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available
once the module is loaded, and then its too late.

So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively,
change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this.

This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

0 - don't register conntrack in new net namespaces
1 - register conntrack in new net namespaces (default)
This controls wheter newly created network namespaces have connection
tracking enabled by default. It will be enabled automatically
regardless of this setting if the new net namespace requires
connection tracking, e.g. when NAT rules are created.
This setting is only visible in initial user namespace, it has no
effect on existing namespaces.
