The old firewall does it like this - so maybe we should do it here as well:

* drop invalid traffic in PVEFW-HOST-IN (= INPUT chain) irregardless
  of the setting
* drop invalid traffic on PVEFW-FORWARD (= FORWARD chain) if
  allow_invalid is 0 (= default)

It's important not to accept it immediately, because then the rest of
the ruleset still gets evaluated, mitigating the blast radius of this
setting considerably.
