[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit
window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some
ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of
the TCP header and would get confused.
Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.
There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks
