Set the MTU to match the smallest MTU of the host devices as per the current autodetection. That makes sure that if large MTU is used, the extra device does not create a bottleneck with a small MTU. Also when MTU changes, on host devices, it get adjusted automatically. If an overlay is used, the special device MTU is adjusted to the size of the overlay.

Fixes #8868

Release Note

ebpf: set bpfin/out.cali MTU to the smallest of all host ifaces including overlay. That means if jumbo frames are used, this device also uses them.

I enabled the vxlan mtu test for vxlan and it now also tests the bpfin.cali mtu
