Summary

If the TTL (or hop limit) expires during nat64 translation we may
need to send the error message in the original address family (i.e.
pre-translation).
We'd usually handle this in pf_route()/pf_route6(), but at that point we
have already translated the packet, making it difficult to include it in
the generated ICMP message.

Check for this case in pf_translate_af() and send icmp errors directly
from it.
