overide-expire can only extend the freshness, not cut it short.

The max age (and percentage) is only used in heuristic freshness
calculation based on Last-Modified, not when there is an explicit
freshness set by the origin.

It is not hard to extend Squid to be able to limit freshness to the max
age even when an explicit freshness is set by the origin.
