rG66f2f9ee0877: ipfw: teach ipfw that pfsync is an upper layer protocol
Summary

Explicitly add pfsync as a know upper layer protocol so we don't
automatically discard pfsync packets (carried over IPv6).

net.inet6.ip6.fw.deny_unknown_exthdrs defaults to 1, so even if
net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept is set to 1 we'd discard pfsync (over
IPv6).

I don't like adding extra printfs on fast path processing. This can easily make your system unresponsive.

this can be quite verbose

Oh sorry, that's git-arc adding uncommitted changes to the diff. Let me clean that up.

This is something we ran into with the pfsync-over-ip6 diff in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D40102.

The test cases failed on my system because I load both ipfw and pf (mostly by accident, but the CI tests do this too), and ipfw blocked the pfsync packets even though net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept was set to 1.
