netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)

Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.

This patch:
 - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
 - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
 - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
 - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
 - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
 - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
 - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
 - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
 - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.

If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".
