[NETFILTER]: Add CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED option
The NETFILTER_ADVANCED option hides lots of the rather obscure netfilter
options when disabled and provides defaults (M) that should allow to
run a distribution firewall without further thinking.
Defaults to 'y' to avoid breaking current configurations.

[NETFILTER]: non-power-of-two jhash optimizations
Apply Eric Dumazet's jhash optimizations where applicable. Quoting Eric:
Thanks to jhash, hash value uses full 32 bits. Instead of returning
hash % size (implying a divide) we return the high 32 bits of the
(hash * size) that will give results between [0 and size-1] and same
hash distribution.
On most cpus, a multiply is less expensive than a divide, by an order
of magnitude.

[NETFILTER]: xt_hashlimit: reduce overhead without IPv6
This patch generalizes the (CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES || CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES_MODULE)
test done in hashlimit_init_dst() to all the xt_hashlimit module.
This permits a size reduction of "struct dsthash_dst". This saves memory and
cpu for IPV4 only hosts.

nf_nat_setup_info gets the hook number and translates that to the
manip type to perform. This is a relict from the time when one
manip per hook could exist, the exact hook number doesn't matter
anymore, its converted to the manip type. Most callers already
know what kind of NAT they want to perform, so pass the maniptype
in directly.

[NETFILTER]: xt_TCPMSS: don't allow netfilter --setmss to increase mss
When terminating DSL connections for an assortment of random customers, I've
found it necessary to use iptables to clamp the MSS used for connections to
work around the various ICMP blackholes in the greater net. Unfortunately,
the current behaviour in Linux is imperfect and actually make things worse,
so I'm proposing the following: increasing the MSS in a packet can never be
a good thing, so make --set-mss only lower the MSS in a packet.
Yes, I am aware of --clamp-mss-to-pmtu, but it doesn't work for outgoing
connections from clients (ie web traffic), as it only looks at the PMTU on
the destination route, not the source of the packet (the DSL interfaces in
question have a 1442 byte MTU while the destination ethernet interface is
1500 -- there are problematic hosts which use a 1300 byte MTU). Reworking
that is probably a good idea at some point, but it's more work than this is.
