The flow dispatches deferred and timer handling for flows centrally, but
needs to call into protocol specific code for the handling of individual
flows. Currently this passes a general union flow *. It makes more sense
to pass the specific relevant flow type structure. That brings the check
on the flow type adjacent to casting to the union variant which it tags.
Arguably, this is a slight abstraction violation since it involves the
generic flow code using protocol specific types. It's already calling into
protocol specific functions, so I don't think this really makes any
difference.

Currently icmp_id_map[][] stores information about ping sockets in a
bespoke structure. Move the same information into new types of flow
in the flow table. To match that change, replace the existing ICMP
timer with a flow-based timer for expiring ping sockets. This has the
advantage that we only need to scan the active flows, not all possible
ids.
We convert icmp_id_map[][] to point to the flow table entries, rather
than containing its own information. We do still use that array for
locating the right ping flows, rather than using a "flow native" form
of lookup for the time being.
