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

Description

Allow the TCP backhole detection to be disabled at all, enabled only
for IPv4, enabled only for IPv6, and enabled 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, allow the administrator to enable it for IPv6 only.
