I think we are making the correct conservative choice here.

Stacks that don't advertise the window scaling option just because the
window will be < 64K are quite foolhardy.

On modern systems with dynamic socket size adjustments (and thus
dynamic TCP window sizing), this kind of behavior simply doesn't make
any sense.

Even if we added a sysctl to change the behvaior here, it would need
to be off by default.  We know it will break things for somebody,
somewhere.
