yup. if we have seen traffic in both ways of one connection, we mark it
as ASSURED (previously marked UNREPLIED).

If we run out of conntrack entries (because the conntrack hashsize was
chosen too small, and/or /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max is set to
a too small value), we dump UNREPLIED entries first.
