[PATCH v2 1/5] udp: Don't attempt to translate a 0.0.0.0 source address

If an incoming packet has a source address of 0.0.0.0 we translate that to the gateway address. This doesn't really make sense, because we have no way to do a reverse translation for reply packets. Certain UDP protocols do use an unspecified source address in some circumstances (e.g. DHCP). These generally either require no reply, a multicast reply, or provide a suitable reply address by other means. In none of those cases does translating it in passt/pasta make sense. The best we can really do here is just leave it as is.
