ipdpd: Pass MPL to application at flow_allocation

The maximum packet lifetime (MPL) is a property of the flow that needs
to be passed to the reliable transmission protocol (FRCP) for its
correct operation. Previously, the value of MPL was set fixed as one
of the (fixed) Delta-t parameters. This patch makes the MPL a property
of the layer, and it can now be set per layer-type at build time.
This is a step towards a proper MPL estimator in the flow allocator.
