selftests: net: Fix slow configurations in big_tcp_tunnels.sh

The combination of checksum offload disabled (that causes software GSO)
and a debug kernel is inherently slow. Depending on the CPU power and
load, RTT may increase, limiting sk_pacing_rate, so tcp_tso_autosize
caps SKBs at around 40 segments, and zero BIG TCP packets are produced.

Increase sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs and set a bigger initial value
of CWND in these configurations to force BIG TCP.
