Make nf_conntrack_max configurable

Browse Source 
Some OpenStack clouds host applications that handle a large amount of
concurrent connections and this exhausts the default
`nf_conntrack_max` value of `262144`.

This patch allows deployers to easily specify a larger amount of
connections by setting ``openstack_host_nf_conntrack_max``.

Deployers can set ``openstack_host_nf_conntrack_max`` to control the
maximum size of the netfilter connection tracking table. The default of
``262144`` should be increased if virtual machines will be handling large
amounts of concurrent connections.
