dcsctp: Increase RTO limits

The previous limits were taken from Oracles SCTP stack[1] as they were
more up-to-date than the suggested ones in RFC4960. However, after
having evaluated them for a while, it's evident that they are a bit too
aggressive and likely have their origin from a wired LAN network.

Let's do a re-take. These values have been taken from Solaris TCP
stack[2]. They are even less aggressive than Linux defaults. This can be
iterated even more, and is always possible to override by the client.

It's generally the increase of rto_min that is helping here, as the
delayed SACK and RTT jitter require that the RTO.min is quite much
higher than the delayed SACK timeout of the peer (which isn't in control
by us, but one can assume it's 200ms or less). And with a too low
RTO.min, it's increased risk of getting spurious retransmissions and
decreasing the congestion window.
