mptcp: Use 32-bit DATA_ACK when possible
RFC8684 allows to send 32-bit DATA_ACKs as long as the peer is not sending 64-bit data-sequence numbers. The 64-bit DSN is only there for extreme scenarios when a very high throughput subflow is combined with a long-RTT subflow such that the high-throughput subflow wraps around the 32-bit sequence number space within an RTT of the high-RTT subflow. It is thus a rare scenario and we should try to use the 32-bit DATA_ACK instead as long as possible. It allows to reduce the TCP-option overhead by 4 bytes, thus makes space for an additional SACK-block. It also makes tcpdumps much easier to read when the DSN and DATA_ACK are both either 32 or 64-bit.
