[PATCH 6/6] net: tftp: sanitize tftp block size, especially for TX

U-Boot does not support IP fragmentation on TX (and unless
CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG is set, neither on RX). So the blocks we send must
fit in a single ethernet packet.

Currently, if tftpblocksize is set to something like 5000 and I
tftpput a large enough file, U-Boot crashes because we overflow
net_tx_packet (which only has room for 1500 bytes plus change).

Similarly, if tftpblocksize is set to something larger than what we
can actually receive (e.g. 50000, with NET_MAXDEFRAG being 16384), any
tftp get just hangs because we never receive any packets.
