[TCP]: Document several sysctls.

This adds documentation for tcp_moderate_rcvbuf, tcp_no_metrics_save,
tcp_base_mss, and tcp_mtu_probing.

tcp_moderate_rcvbuf - BOOLEAN
If set, TCP performs receive buffer autotuning, attempting to
automatically size the buffer (no greater than tcp_rmem[2]) to
match the size required by the path for full throughput. Enabled by
default.
tcp_mtu_probing - INTEGER
Controls TCP Packetization-Layer Path MTU Discovery. Takes three
values:
0 - Disabled
1 - Disabled by default, enabled when an ICMP black hole detected
2 - Always enabled, use initial MSS of tcp_base_mss.
tcp_no_metrics_save - BOOLEAN
By default, TCP saves various connection metrics in the route cache
when the connection closes, so that connections established in the
near future can use these to set initial conditions. Usually, this
increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance
degredation. If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing
connections.
tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER
