Detect increases in PMTU.

Browse source 
Tinc never restarts PMTU discovery unless a node becomes unreachable. However,
it can be that the PMTU was very low during the initial discovery, but has
increased later. To detect this, tinc now tries to send an extra packet every
PingInterval, with a size slightly higher than the currently known PMTU. If
this packet is succesfully received back, we partially restart PMTU discovery
to find out the new maximum.

After the initial discovery, a fourth packet is added to each batch with a
size larger than the currently known PMTU, to test if the PMTU has increased.
In case local discovery is enabled, another packet is added to each batch,
which will be broadcast to the local network.
