rG43b117f88f30: tcp: make the maximum number of retransmissions tunable per VNET

Summary

With Windows (TcpMaxDataRetransmissions) and Linux (tcp_retries2)
there is precedent that sometimes it is useful to restrict the
maximum number of retransmissions sent - as each of these will
be sent after an exponentially increasing interval.

This adds that same capability on a per-VNet basis to FreeBSD.
