src: add state polling support (oppossed to current event-driven)
This patch adds the clause PollSecs that changes the normal behaviour of conntrackd. With PollSecs set to > 0, conntrackd polls every N seconds the entries. This is the opposed behaviour of an event-driven behaviour but may be useful for those that have really strong limitations in terms of CPU consumption and want to perform a relaxed replication.

+ # By default, the daemon receives state updates following an

+ # polling mode with the PollSecs clause. This clause tells conntrackd
+ # to dump the states in the kernel every N seconds. With regards to
+ # synchronization mode, the polling mode can only guarantee that
+ # long-lifetime states are recovered. The main advantage of this method
+ # is the reduction in the state replication at the cost of reducing the
