conntrack: add generic IP protocol support

Currently, userspace conntrack only tracks TCP, UDP, and ICMP, and all other IP protocols are discarded, and the +inv state is returned. This is not in line with the kernel conntrack. Where if no L4 information can be extracted it's treated as generic L3. The change below mimics the behavior of the kernel.

      * New 'options:dpdk-vf-mac' field for DPDK interface of VF ports,
