QUIC: path revalidation after expansion failure.

As per RFC 9000, Section 8.2.1:

    When an endpoint is unable to expand the datagram size to 1200 bytes due
    to the anti-amplification limit, the path MTU will not be validated.
    To ensure that the path MTU is large enough, the endpoint MUST perform a
    second path validation by sending a PATH_CHALLENGE frame in a datagram of
    at least 1200 bytes.
