Large tc filters can have many arguments. For example the following
filter matches the first 7 MPLS LSEs, pops all of them, then updates
the Ethernet header and redirects the resulting packet to eth1.

This filter has 149 arguments, so it can't be used with tc -batch
which is limited to a 100.
Let's bump the limit to 512. That should leave a lot of room for big
batch commands.
v2:
-Define the limit in utils.h (Stephen Hemminger)
-Bump the limit even higher (256 -> 512) (Stephen Hemminger)
