This is a necessary follow-up on commit 00b144bc9d093 ("obj/ct_timeout:
Avoid array overrun in timeout_parse_attr_data()") which fixed array out
of bounds access but missed the logic behind it:

The nested attribute type values are incremented by one when being
transferred between kernel and userspace, the zero type value is
reserved for "unspecified".

Kernel uses CTA_TIMEOUT_* symbols for that, libnftnl simply mangles the
type values in nftnl_obj_ct_timeout_build().

Return path was broken as it overstepped its nlattr array but apart from
that worked: Type values were decremented by one in
timeout_parse_attr_data().

This patch moves the type value mangling into
parse_timeout_attr_policy_cb() (which still overstepped nlattr array).
Consequently, when copying values from nlattr array into ct timeout
object in timeout_parse_attr_data(), loop is adjusted to start at index
0 and the type value decrement is dropped there.
