veth: Allow setting the L3 MTU

Browse source

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.
