This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as opposed to the local bridge's max age.  This is in accordance with section 8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification.

   You should wrap your changelog lines at 80 chars at most, preferably less.

With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is configured to have a longer max age.

Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200.
