netfilter: x_tables: add module alias for icmp matches
The icmp matches are implemented in ip_tables and ip6_tables, respectively, so for normal iptables they are always available: those modules are loaded once iptables calls getsockopt() to fetch available module revisions. In iptables-over-nftables case probing occurs via nfnetlink, so these modules might not be loaded. Add aliases so modprobe can load these when icmp/icmp6 is requested.
