Avoid buffer underwrite in icmp_error

Description

Avoid buffer underwrite in icmp_error

icmp_error allocates either an mbuf (with pkthdr) or a cluster depending
on the size of data to be quoted in the ICMP reply, but the calculation
failed to account for the additional padding that m_align may apply.

Include the ip header in the size passed to m_align. On 64-bit archs
this will have the net effect of moving everything 4 bytes later in the
mbuf or cluster. This will result in slightly pessimal alignment for
the ICMP data copy.

Also add an assertion that we do not move m_data before the beginning of
the mbuf or cluster.
