Add Max Payload Size limit option (--max-payload-size)

This option excludes TCP packets with the data payload larger than
defined value from being copied by WinDivert driver to GoodbyeDPI.

As most of HTTP and TLS ClientHello packets are repatively small,
and file transfers are usually big and are sent/received using
the whole available MTU/MSS, we can just exclude them from
being processed by our userspace program to reduce unnecessary
CPU load.
