Summary

Import OpenBSD's syncookie support for pf. This feature help pf resist
TCP SYN floods by only creating states once the remote host completes
the TCP handshake rather than when the initial SYN packet is received.

This is accomplished by using the initial sequence numbers to encode a
cookie (hence the name) in the SYN+ACK response and verifying this on
receipt of the client ACK.
