Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) e7757b6d3a mptcp: pm: in-kernel: rename 'local_addr_max' to 'endp_subflow_max' ...

A few variables linked to the in-kernel Path-Manager are confusing, and
it would help current and future developers, to clarify them.

One of them is 'local_addr_max', which in fact represents the maximum
number of 'subflow' endpoints that can be used to create new subflows,
and not the number of local addresses that have been used to create
subflows.

While at it, add an additional name for the corresponding variable in
MPTCP INFO: mptcpi_endp_subflow_max. Not to break the current uAPI, the
new name is added as a 'define' pointing to the former name. This will
then also help userspace devs.

Also move the variable and function next to the other 'endp_X_max' ones.

No functional changes intended.
