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.
