  [conntrackd][plugin] add conntrack info

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * The plugin conntrackd is renamed to conntrack.

  * Added the following
  conntrack commands to the plugin.
  conntrack -L -o extended
  conntrack -S

  [Test Case]

  * Install sosreport
  * sosreport -a will exercise 'conntrack' plugin if one of the following packages installation is met: ('conntrack-tools', 'conntrack', 'conntrackd'),

  * Alternative way to exercise the plugin :
    ** 'sosreport -o conntrack'
    ** 'sos report -o conntrack'

  * Then a sosreport tarball will be generated under /tmp
  * Extract that said tarball, and look under /path_to_sosreport/sos_commands/conntrack/

  And one should see 2 new files, one for each new commands added by
  this command.

  [Regression Potential]

  * The plugin is renamed from 'conntrackd' to 'conntrack'.
  If one has a plugin_options in /etc/sos/sos.conf specific to former name 'conntrackd' (e.g skip the plugin, enable the plugin, ...) well it won't be effective anymore, and one would need to update their config file to reflect new reality of the plugin name change. But it's very uncommon to see users using such plugin options. Very unlikely to happen.

  * conntrack -L -o extended
  Show the connection tracking table in /proc/net/nf_conntrack format

  * conntrack -S
         -S, --stats
                Show the in-kernel connection tracking system statistics.

  The new commands addition are harmless, and if a problem arise it will
  be isolated to the 'conntrack' plugin and won't affect other plugins
  nor sosreport core functionalities.
