    This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing
    several events:
    
     * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted
       since the have no clients.
     * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter
       days.
     * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the
       timeout in the messages.
    
    After this patch, the existing events are:
    
     * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify
     addition and deletion of entries.
     * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes,
     eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED.
     * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has
     changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state.
     * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this
     entry.
     * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this
     covers the case when a mark is set to zero.
     * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence
     adjustment.
