filter: choose the filtering method via configuration file
This patch changes the current behaviour of the filtering selection. Up to now, conntrackd has used the kernel version to select the filtering method based on the following logic: If kernel is >= 2.6.26 we use BSF-based filtering from kernel-space, otherwise, default to userspace. However, this filtering method still lacks of IPv6 support and it requires a patch that got into 2.6.29 to filter IPv6 addresses from kernel-space. To fix this issue, we default to user-space filtering and let the user choose the method via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
