[pve-devel] [PATCH ve-rs v2 2/2] fix: firewall: introduce iptables to nftables mapping for icmpv6-types

Some of the iptables icmpv6-type options we expose in the UI don't exist
in nftables, so we need to make a mapping with a custom type and code to
support them. There are also some options that have been renamed in
nftables, which can be mapped to the new name:
