Martin Stein 1b1a9ca95c nic_router: fix bad connection states on IP change
When a domain receives a new dynamic router IP address and that domain has
active connection states (TCP/UDP/ICMP) from another domain with NAT applied,
the connection states used to stay active while becoming obsolete. They
become obsolete because their identification and their packet processor
use the old routers IP address due to NAT.

One consequence was that connections became dysfunctional when the server
domain received a new dynamic router IP address. Request packets were still
routed from client to server, but when entering the server, their source IP
address was the outdated router address. Consequently, the server responses
used the outdated address as destination and the router dropped the responses
because it did not know this address anymore.

This commit fixes the problem by letting a domain destroy all its connection
states that were initiated from within other domains whenever it detaches from
its current IP configuration.

Strictly speaking, it is not necessary to destroy all connection states, only
those that the domain applies NAT to. However, the Genode AVL tree is not built
for removing a selection of nodes and trying to do it anyways is complicated.
So, for now, we simply destroy all connection states.

Note that the other way around was handled correctly already. When a domain
detaches from its IP config, all interfaces of that domain destroy all the
connection states they created (towards other domains).
