When calculating the window scale to use for the advertised window for a
TCP connection, adjust the size values used to extend the maximum possible
window value so that overhead is properly accounted.  In other words:
convert the maximum value candidates from buffer size space into advertised
window space.

This adjustment keeps the scale of the maximum value consistent - that is,
keeps it in window space.

Without this adjustment, the window scale used could be larger than
necessary, reducing granularity for the advertised window.
