Fixes #67882
The nftables state just sends its kwargs to the nftables module. This in turn is currently missing support for ipv6 icmp packet types (icmpv6). This means that currently Salt cannot configure a firewall in such a way that it allows pings, for example. This small patch remedies that.
Previous Behavior

New Behavior
The above works now.
Merge requirements satisfied?
[NOTICE] Bug fixes or features added to Salt require tests.
I have not added any test for the above.
cmd.run. Sonftis never executed by the tests, so you'd never know if any of this code produced an invalid rule. I do not have the time to contribute to Salt to essentially rewrite the nftables module, so this will have to live without tests.Commits signed with GPG?
