Ciphers in ``--data-ciphers`` can now be prefixed with a ``?`` to mark

The current mssfix parameter is a bit as it needs manual calculation of the allowable packet size and also the resulting MSS value does not take into account if IPv4 or IPv6 is used on the outer tunnel. The mtu parameter fixes both of these problem by dynamically including the real overhead. The syntax and naming of the parater is chosen for compatiblity with OpenVPN3.
