netfilter: flowtable: allow unidirectional rules

[ Upstream commit 8f84780b84 ]

Modify flow table offload to support unidirectional connections by
extending enum nf_flow_flags with new "NF_FLOW_HW_BIDIRECTIONAL" flag. Only
offload reply direction when the flag is set. This infrastructure change is
necessary to support offloading UDP NEW connections in original direction
in following patches in series.
