    TCP - Fix problems with dynamic receiver and sender buffer scaling
    
    * The receive buffer dynamic scaling ran afoul of our
      avoid_pure_win_update feature.  Correct the calculation so this
      feature properly works when the maximum receive window is smaller
      the maximum sockbuf size.
    
    * Both the send and receive buffer dynamic scaling were limited
      to a maximum TCP window based on the initial window scaling negotiation,
      which in turn is based on the initial size of the receive or send
      sockbuf.
    
      Negotiate a minimum window scaling of 6 (x64).  This currently limits
      automatic sockbuf expansion to 4MB.  Further refinement is possible
      as long as (1 << scaling) does not exceed 1/4 of the initial sockbuf
      size.
    
    * Reduce the maximum size of sockbuf can be dynamically scaled to from
      16MB to 2MB.  If someone wants more they can sysctl it up higher.
    
    * Disable further scaling once the sockbuf size has exceeded the
      originally negotiated window scale parameters.  There's no gain in
      doing it past that.
