[PATCH iproute2] iplink: allow configuring GSO max values

[Solio Sarabia <solio.sarabia@intel.com>]

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

This allows sending GSO maximum values when configuring a device.
The values are advisory. Most devices will ignore them but for some
pseudo devices such as veth pairs they can be set.

Example:
	# ip link add dev vm1 type veth peer name vm2 gso_max_size 32768

Rebases original patch against linux-next. Also fixes minor space in
ip-link.8.in, check gso_max_size range, and fixes some style warnings.
