child-sa: Allow requesting different unique marks for in/out

When requiring unique flags for CHILD_SAs, allow the configuration to
request different marks for each direction by using the %unique-dir keyword.

This is useful when different marks are desired for each direction but the
number of peers is not predefined.

An example use case is when implementing a site-to-site route-based VPN
without VTI devices.

A use of 0.0.0.0/0 - 0.0.0.0/0 traffic selectors with identical in/out marks
results in outbound traffic being wrongfully matched against the 'fwd'
policy - for which the underlay 'template' does not match - and dropped.

Using different marks for each direction avoids this issue as the 'fwd' policy
uses the 'in' mark will not match outbound traffic.

Closes strongswan/strongswan#78.
