Fix --tmark option
Even when --tmark was used, the iptables code always used '1' for the mark. This patch corrects the problem. Previously, it wasn't clear if the tmark should be supplied in hexadecimal or as an integer. This makes it use hexadecimal, checks that the input is hexadecimal, and updates the associated documentation. This patch also makes --ttl information get passed to the firewall in a way that matches how other information gets passed. The ttl and tmark information are passed next to each other in many places and this patch also makes the order consistent.
