[NETFILTER]: Use only 32bit counters for CONNTRACK_ACCT

Initially we used 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, since we had no event mechanism to tell userspace that our counters are about to overflow. With nfnetlink_conntrack, we now have such a event mechanism and thus can save 16bytes per connection. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
