rS359487: Allow the TCP backhole detection to be disabled at all, enabled only

Summary

Allow the TCP blackhole detection to be enabled for only for IPv4, only for IPv6, and for IPv4 and IPv6.
The current blackhole detection might classify a temporary outage as an MTU issue and reduces permanently the MSS.
Since the consequences of such a reduction due to a misclassification are much more drastically for IPv4 than for IPv6, let the administrator enable it for IPv6 only.
