ipcpd: Restrict MTU for Ethernet over loopback
This restricts the MTU for the Ethernet IPCP over loopback adapters
(devices named "lo*") to avoid it allocating 65K buffers per packet
and quickly filling the default RDRBUFF space. The restriction is set
using the build option IPCP_ETH_LO_MTU, with a default value of 1500
bytes.
