nixos/wireguard: add option to set mtu

Browse Source 
Some networks can only transfer packets with a lower than normal maximum
transfer unit size. In these cases, it is necessary to set a MTU that
works for the given upstream network.

Set the maximum transmission unit in bytes for the wireguard
interface. Beware that the wireguard packets have a header that may
add up to 80 bytes to the mtu. By default, the MTU is (1500 - 80) =
1420. However, if the MTU of the upstream network is lower, the MTU
of the wireguard network has to be adjusted as well.
