[INET]: Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_RPOBE
Add IP(V6)_PMTUDISC_PROBE value for IP(V6)_MTU_DISCOVER.  This option forces
us not to fragment, but does not make use of the kernel path MTU discovery.
That is, it allows for user-mode MTU probing (or, packetization-layer path
MTU discovery).  This is particularly useful for diagnostic utilities, like
traceroute/tracepath.
