Tinc never restarts PMTU discovery unless a node becomes unreachable. However,
it can be that the PMTU was very low during the initial discovery, but has
increased later. To detect this, tinc now tries to send an extra packet every
PingInterval, with a size slightly higher than the currently known PMTU. If
this packet is succesfully received back, we partially restart PMTU discovery
to find out the new maximum.
mtuprobes == 32: send 1 burst, sleep pingtimeout second
mtuprobes == 33: no response from other side, restart PMTU discovery process
