Patch to correct timestamp format of conntrack

The fractional portion of timestamps reported by conntrack is printed as a
left-justified integer instead of fixed-width and zero-padded.  When the number
of microseconds is less than six digits, this makes it incorrect (and sometimes
non-monotonic) when read as a straight decimal number.

Example of actual results:

May  5 23:45:05 natbox2 logger: [1367822705.769455]#011[DESTROY] ...
May  5 23:45:06 natbox2 logger: [1367822706.41462 ]#011[DESTROY] ...
May  5 23:45:06 natbox2 logger: [1367822706.143201]#011    [NEW] ...

Expected results:
May  5 23:45:05 natbox2 logger: [1367822705.769455]#011[DESTROY] ...
May  5 23:45:06 natbox2 logger: [1367822706.041462]#011[DESTROY] ...
May  5 23:45:06 natbox2 logger: [1367822706.143201]#011    [NEW] ...

Patch attached.
