This clamping should be done in src/config.c, where we get
iface->ra_lifetime from ubus.

The only caller of calc_ra_lifetime() already clamps the returned
value to UINT16_MAX ( = 65535), you could as well drop all limiting
here now.

This is a configuration variable, not a constant, naming it like a
defined configuration variable is confusing.

RFC4861 says the default for MaxRtrAdvInterval is 600 seconds (which
we use in src/config.c), not 65535. The maximum allowed value is
increased to 65535 in RFC8319.

Where this limit should be applied is in src/config.c, where we get
the IFACE_ATTR_RA_MAXINTERVAL value (which is currently missing a
range check).

Likewise, this should be used in src/config.c for a range check of
IFACE_ATTR_RA_LIFETIME.

IFACE_ATTR_RA_MININTERVAL could also use a range check.

This is a limit, not the value to use, so it should be named appropriately.
