nat: deal with flows instead of sessions
This change introduces flow concept to endpoint-dependent NAT. Instead of having a session and a plethora of special cases in code for e.g. hairpinning, twice-nat and others, figure all this out and store it in flow logic. Every flow has a match and a rewrite part. This unifies all the NAT packet processing cases into one - match a flow and rewrite the packet based on that flow. It also provides a cure for hairpinning dilemma where one part of the flow is on one worker and another on a different one. These cases are also sped up by not requiring destination adress lookup every single time to be able to rewrite source nat as this is now part of flow rewrite logic.
