This patchset is related to 'Fix setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_TTL on OpenBSD’.

Looks like it’s impossible to avoid casting int to unsigned char, so integer
overflow/truncation must be handled. Since the maximum value of TTL is 255
limited by IPv4/IPv6, set the upper bound of AVOption to fail early for
invalid value.
