ipv4: new ip_no_pmtu_disc mode to always discard incoming frag needed msgs

This new mode discards all incoming fragmentation-needed notifications
as I guess was originally intended with this knob. To not break backward
compatibility too much, I only added a special case for mode 2 in the
receiving path.
