pf: Add support for endpoint independent NAT bindings for UDP

With Endpoint Independent NAT bindings for UDP flows from a NATed source
address are always mapped to the same ip:port pair on the NAT router.
This allows a client to connect to multiple external servers while
appearing as the same host and enables NAT traversal without requiring
the client to use a middlebox traversal protocol such as STUN or TURN.

Introduce the 'endpoint-independent' option to NAT rules to allow
configuration of endpoint independent without effecting existing
deployments.

This change satisfies REQ 1 and 3 of RFC 4787 also known as 'full cone'
NAT.

Using Endpoint Independent NAT changes NAT exhaustion behaviour it does
not introduce any additional security considerations compared to other
forms of NAT.
