Add tx packets aggregation. Bidirectional TCP throughput tests through iperf with low-cat Thread-x based modems revelead performance issues both in tx and rx. The Windows driver does not show this issue: inspecting USB packets revealed that the only notable change is the driver enabling tx packets aggregation. Tx packets aggregation is by default disabled and can be enabled by increasing the value of ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_MAX_AGGR_FRAMES. The maximum aggregated size is by default set to a reasonably low value in order to support the majority of modems.
