util/linuxfw: clamp MSS to PMTU in both forward directions (#20077)
ClampMSSToPMTU only added a rule matching the output interface (-o tun /
OIFNAME), which clamps the SYN forwarded out towards the tailnet peer but
not the SYN-ACK that arrives on tun and is forwarded back towards the
originating endpoint. As a result only one side of a forwarded handshake
had its MSS clamped; the endpoint on the other side of the proxy kept
advertising an MSS based on its own (larger) MTU.

When path MTU discovery is broken (e.g. proxies created by the Tailscale
Kubernetes operator, where tailscale0 has a 1280 MTU), the unclamped
endpoint's large segments exceed the tun MTU and are silently dropped,
causing TCP connections through proxy group pods to stall mid-stream on
large payloads. The earlier proxy-group fix (#19686) wired ClampMSSToPMTU
into the HA code paths but inherited this single-direction limitation, so
connections could still hang.

Add a second rule matching the input interface (-i tun / IIFNAME) in both
the iptables and nftables runners so both directions of the forwarded
handshake negotiate a PMTU-safe MSS.

Updates #19812
