tcp: add tcp_rto_max_ms sysctl

Previous patch added a TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option
to tune a TCP socket max RTO value.

Many setups prefer to change a per netns sysctl.

This patch adds /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max_ms

Its initial value is 120000 (120 seconds).

Keep in mind that a decrease of tcp_rto_max_ms
means shorter overall timeouts, unless tcp_retries2
sysctl is increased.

seconds and is a lower bound for the effective timeout.
TCP will effectively time out at the first RTO which exceeds the
hypothetical timeout.
If tcp_rto_max_ms is decreased, it is recommended to also
change tcp_retries2.
RFC 1122 recommends at least 100 seconds for the timeout,
which corresponds to a value of at least 8.

Note that TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option has higher precedence.
When changing tcp_rto_max_ms, it is important to understand
that tcp_retries2 might need a change.
