tcp: add the ability to control max RTO
Currently, TCP stack uses a constant (120 seconds)
to limit the RTO value exponential growth.
Some applications want to set a lower value.
Add TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option to set a value (in ms)
between 1 and 120 seconds.
It is discouraged to change the socket rto max on a live
socket, as it might lead to unexpected disconnects.
Following patch is adding a netns sysctl to control the
default value at socket creation time.
