Find how large a packet the path carries: 1,452 bytes once a probe is acknowledged

A link starts at 1,200 bytes; once an RTT is known it sends a PING padded
to 1,452 (DPLPMTUD, RFC 8899), alone and with the don't-fragment bit,
and uses that size once it is acknowledged. A probe lost is no
congestion; it is tried again a second on, three times, then ten minutes
on. GSO is asked for each burst (a control message), not the socket, so
a packet sent alone is never cut. CUBIC counts in the datagram.

On loopback packets fall by 19-27%; the CPU a record falls 13% at 1 KiB
and 7% at 16 KiB; in the simulator of a 50 Mbit/s path with 1% loss the
goodput rises from 6.1 to 7.0 Mbit/s (5%: 2.3 to 3.0).
