ipv4: raise IP_MAX_MTU to theoretical limit

As discussed last year [1], there is no compelling reason
to limit IPv4 MTU to 0xFFF0, while real limit is 0xFFFF

[1] : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=135607247609434&w=2

Willem raised this issue again because some of our internal
regression tests broke after lo mtu being set to 65536.

IP_MTU reports 0xFFF0, and the test attempts to send a RAW datagram of
mtu + 1 bytes, expecting the send() to fail, but it does not.

Alexey raised interesting points about TCP MSS, that should be addressed
in follow-up patches in TCP stack if needed, as someone could also set
an odd mtu anyway.
