pf: improve the ICMPv6 direction check

Description

pf: improve the ICMPv6 direction check

Following bluhm's advice this changes the way we setup state keys and
perform state lookups for ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery packets:

  • replace the NS-dst with ND target address;
  • replace the NA-src with ND target address;
  • replace the NA-dst with unspecified address if it is a multicast.

This allows pf to match Address Resolution, Neighbor Unreachability
Detection and Duplicate Address Detection packets to the corresponding
states without the need to create new ones or match unrelated ones.
As a side effect we're doing now one state table lookup for ND packets
instead of two.

Fixes a bug uncovered by one of the previous commits that virtually
breaks IPv6 connectivity after few minutes of use.
