Support "return" statements in passing rules when they fail.

Normally pf rules are expected to do one of two things: pass the traffic or
block it. Blocking can be silent - "drop", or loud - "return", "return-rst",
"return-icmp". Yet there is a 3rd category of traffic passing through pf.
Packets matching a "pass" rule but when applying the rule fails. This happe=
ns
when redirection table is empty or when src node or state creation fails. S=
uch
rules always fail silently without notifying the sender.

Please see proposed patch for adding "return"-like keywords to "pass" rules
just as "block" rules do. Other option would be to not change pf.conf's gra=
mmar
and just make such rules always returning.
