[pve-devel] [PATCH firewall 2/2] fix #4730: add safeguards to prevent ICMP type misuse

without this additional conditions, it's possible to break the firewall by
setting an ICMP-type value as dport for non-ICMP protocols, e.g. 'any' for
'tcp'.

by rejecting the invalid rule/parameter, the rest of the ruleset is still
applied properly, and the error messages are a lot more informative as well.

Notes:
    without this patch, it's possible to set such a rule over the GUI and the pve-firewall just logs:
    
    status update error: iptables_restore_cmdlist: Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
    
    and is no longer able to setup any rule (change).
    
    with this patch, any existing broken config will trigger the following:
    
    /etc/pve/nodes/<NODE>/host.fw (line 7) - errors in rule parameters: IN REJECT -source 10.0.1.0/24 -dest 10.0.1.2 -p tcp -dport any -log nolog
       dport: invalid port 'any'
    
    and creating such a broken rule in the first place is no longer possible over the API, and *only* adding this rule is skipped.
