[NETFILTER]: ctnetlink: add support for NAT sequence adjustments

The combination of NAT and helpers may produce TCP sequence adjustments.
In failover setups, this information needs to be replicated in order to
achieve a successful recovery of mangled, related connections. This patch is
particularly useful for conntrackd, see:
