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.
