Updated the NAT iptables patch for 4.19 buster

Depends on PR : sonic-net/sonic-linux-kernel#147

1 Known issue:

With both NAT patch files for 4.19 buster kernel, seeing 1 display issue in iptables like explained below

On Docker NAT, iptables supported version is 1.6.0 and on base OS it’s 1.8.2. So seeing an display issue of which fullcone option is not showing in version 1.8.2 iptables output and no issues in functionality.

Display issue – For example of comparsion:

NAT Docker:
root@sonic:/home/admin# docker exec -it nat bash
root@sonic:/# iptables -t nat -nvL
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 DNAT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 to:1.1.1.1 fullcone

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 30 packets, 2749 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 30 packets, 2749 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
root@sonic:/#

Base OS:
root@sonic:/home/admin# iptables-legacy -t nat -nvL
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
1 36 DNAT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 to:1.1.1.1

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 1 packets, 36 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 41 packets, 3572 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 41 packets, 3572 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
root@sonic:/home/admin#

To fix this issue, iptables need to update from 1.6.0 to 1.8.2 version and have to update the NAT docker from stretch to buster.
Will raise a new PR with this.
