Similar to IPIP and IP6I6 tunnels, introduce sw acceleration for IPv4 over
IPv6 and SIT tunnels in the netfilter flowtable infrastructure.

---
Changes in v5:
- Fix ipip6_tunnel_fill_forward_path() to take into account not only
  IPv6 packet since SIT tunnels can encapsulate even IPv4/MPLS traffic.
- Return an error in ipip6_tunnel_fill_forward_path() if tunnel daddr is
  not set since NBMA tunnels are not supported yet.
- Return an error in ipip6_tunnel_fill_forward_path() if encap.type is
  not TUNNEL_ENCAP_NONE
- cosmetics
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260703-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v4-0-00398cd12382@kernel.org

Changes in v4:
- Rebase on top of nf-next and fixed conflicts.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260531-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v3-0-56a2826f3279@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Drop nf_flow_tunnel_v4_push and nf_flow_tunnel_v6_push routines
- Rebase on top of net-next tree.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260506-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v2-0-439fd427726e@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Fix MTU check in nf_flow_offload_forward() and in
  nf_flow_offload_ipv6_forward()
- Add SIT sw acceleration support
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260505-b4-flowtable-sw-accel-ip6ip-v1-0-9ac39ccc9ea9@kernel.org
