syncookies: do not store rcv_wscale in tcp timestamp

As pointed out by Fernando Gont there is no need to encode rcv_wscale
into the cookie.

We did not use the restored rcv_wscale anyway; it is recomputed
via tcp_select_initial_window().

Thus we can save 4 bits in the ts option space by removing rcv_wscale.
In case window scaling was not supported, we set the (invalid) wscale
value 0xf.
