veth: Allow setting the L3 MTU
The limitation to only 1500 byte mtu's limits the utility of the veth
device for testing routing. So implement implement a configurable
MTU.
For consistency I drop packets on the receive side when they are
larger than the MTU. I count those drops. And I allow
a little padding for vlan headers.
I also test the mtu when a new device is created with netlink
because that path currently bypasses the current mtu setting
code.
