Summary

The algorithm we use to update checksums only works correctly if the
updated data is aligned on 16-bit boundaries (relative to the start of
the packet).

Import the OpenBSD fix for this issue.

I guess you need a similar dance (for 16-bit) in pf_normalize_tcpopt() when updating the MSS.

Also handle the MSS update case.

Ensure we actually update the packet, even when checksum flags indicate the checksum doesn't need an update.
