Description of changes:

This change renames some usages of the term MTU to max_datagram_size to better reflect what the value represents.

MTU is usually used for referring to the maximum size of an IP packet that can be transmitted on a path, which includes the size of the IP headers and UDP headers that prefix a QUIC packet. In QUIC we are more concerned with the maximum size of a QUIC datagram that can be sent on a path. This "max datagram size" value does not include the size of IP headers and UDP headers.

Call-outs:

I added a comment on the mtu field of the MtuUpdated event indicating the value does not include IP header or UDP header sizes, but I did not mark the field as deprecated and add a new field, as it didn't seem worth it.
