Pablo Neira Ayuso b118509076 netfilter: remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and modparam toggles
__nf_ct_try_assign_helper() remains in place but it now requires a
template to configure the helper.

A toggle to disable automatic helper assignment was added by:

  a900689264 ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment")

in 2012 to address the issues described in "Secure use of iptables and
connection tracking helpers". Automatic conntrack helper assignment was
disabled by:

  3bb398d925 ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: disable automatic helper assignment")

back in 2016.

This patch removes the sysctl and modparam toggles, users now have to
rely on explicit conntrack helper configuration via ruleset.

Update tools/testing/selftests/netfilter/nft_conntrack_helper.sh to
check that auto-assignment does not happen anymore.
