rGfe96610ba943: pf: rework anchor handling to recurse

Summary

percpu anchor stacks we actually don't need to pre-allocate per_anchor_stack[], if we use a 'natural' recursion, when doing anchor tree traversal.

O.K. mikeb@, mpi@

Extended because FreeBSD pf still has separate NAT rules processing, which also
needed this change.

5882	One of benefits of pf_test_ctx is that it provides a central point to access all those variables from functions. So it would be better to only pass ctx to pf_create_state and other functions and modify those functions to access the members of ctx.

5882	That is a good idea. In fact, I thought I had already done that, but I don't seem to have that in my stack of pending patches. I would like to keep it out of this change though.
