Fix critical bug in default TCP keepalive user timeout

It turns out that our calculation of the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT value was
flawed in several ways:

* there should have been parenthesis around the + operator
(line->keepalive_probe_interval + line->keepalive_idle_timeout) as the
keepalive_idle_timeout is in seconds, not milli-seconds.

* in the default case, all those values are configured to -1
(E1INP_USE_DEFAULT). This means we're using
1000 * -1 * -1 + -1 = 999
i.e. just below aq second which clearly is not enough for a lossy
satellite or wifi back-haul.

This fixes a regression introduced in Ia7659c209aea0d26eb37d31e771adc91b17ae668
i.e. present since libosmo-abis 1.4.0
