Fixed, but slightly different to your patch.

As per RFC4443 section 2.4, Every ICMPv6 error message (type < 128) MUST include as much of the IPv6 offending (invoking) packet (the packet that caused the error) as possible without making the error message packet exceed the minimum IPv6 MTU, but currently lwip only take the first 48 bytes. In many cases, this way cannot bring enough err info to make the packet originator make sense of what specific error happened. so lwip must obey this rule as it was defined as "MUST".
The attached patch file was my modification, pls review.
