This patch makes struct pfsync_state contents configurable by sending out new versions of the structure in separate subheader actions. Both old and new version of struct pfsync_state can be understood, so replication of states from a system running an older kernel is possible. The version being sent out is configured using ifconfig pfsync0 … version XXXX. The version is an user-friendly string - 1301 stands for FreeBSD 13.1 (I have checked synchronization against a host running 13.1), 1400 stands for 14.0. A host running an older kernel will just ignore the messages and count them as "packets discarded for bad action".

Please note that I've decided to not change the protocol version. Making the code work with messages from older peer would not be as easy as it is with subheaders.
