[CCID3]: Use MSS for larger initial windows



This improves the slow-start phase by using the MSS
(as suggested in RFC 4342, sec. 5) instead of the packet size s.
Also figured out that __u32 is ample resource enough.

After applying, I got the following in the logs:

  ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: client(f7421700), s=6, MSS=1424, w_init=4380, R_sample=176us, X=24886363

Had the previous variant been used, w_init would have been as low as 24.

Committer note: removed unneeded cast to unsigned long long that was
                causing a compiler warning on 64bit architectures.
