This introduces the concept of ext (external/extended) arguments per
tcp_pcb (also for listening pcbs) to store more data than just one
"void *arg" per pcb. The "arg" is for use to applications, whereas
the ext_args may be used by frameworks and leave "arg" untouched.
In addition to a void pointer, callbacks are added to help frameworks
migrate arguments from listen pcb to connection pcb and to free args
when the pcb is freed.

This should make it easier to add debugging messages or other hooks
to the point where tcp pcbs are deallocated.

We preserved the TIME_WAIT handling before, but it seems this is not correct: we want to issue
a RST later again if someone wants to talk to this port. With TIME_WAIT, this might not always
the case.
This avoid having a second description for the same stuff that is "bit-rotting" because noone remembers to update this file.
Also remove outdated and misleading zero-copy TX information.
This re-works the persist timer to have the following behavior:
1) Only start persist timer when a buffered segment doesn't fit within
the current window and there is no in-fligh data. Previously, the
persist timer was always started when the window went to zero even
if there was no buffered data (since timer was managed in receive
pathway rather than transmit pathway)
2) Upon first fire of persist timer, fill the remaining window if
non-zero by splitting the unsent segment. If split segment is sent,
persist timer is stopped, RTO timer is now ensuring reliable window
updates
3) If window is already zero when persist timer fires, send 1 byte probe
4) Persist timer and zero window probe should only be active when the
following are true:
* no in-flight data (pcb->unacked == NULL)
* when there is buffered data (pcb->unsent != NULL)
* when pcb->unsent->len > pcb->snd_wnd
- add a better-documented static function tcp_output_segment_busy
- try to reduce the number of checks
- tcp_rexmit_rto: iterate pcb->unacked only once
- no need to check for ref==1 in tcp_rexmit_fast when tcp_rexmit does
- call tcp_rexmit_fast if dupacks >= 3 (not == 3) and use TF_INFR flag to guard the fast-rexmit case (that way, it's triggered again on the next dupack)
Adds partial support for selective acknowledgements (RFC 2018).
This change makes lwIP negotiate SACK support, and include SACK
data in outgoing empty ACK packets. It does not include it
in outgoing packets with data payload.
It also does not add support for handling incoming SACKs.

This commit adds a timeout to the zero-window probing (persist timer)
mechanism. LwIP has not historically had a timeout for the persist
timer, leading to unbounded blocking if connection drops during the
zero-window condition
This commit also adds two units test, one to check the RTO timeout
and a second to check the zero-window probe timeout
This commit adds TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (ABC) support based on
RFC 3465
ABC replaces the previous congestion window growth mechanism and has been
configured with limit of 2 SMSS. See task #14128 for discussion on
defaults, but the goal is to mitigate the performance impact of delayed
ACKs on congestion window growth
This commit also introduces a mechanism to track when the stack is
undergoing a period following an RTO where data is being retransmitted.
Lastly, this adds a unit test to verify RTO period tracking and some
basic ABC cwnd checking
This commit changes ssthresh to be the largest effective congestion
window (amount of in-flight data). This follows the guidance of RFC
5681 which recommends setting ssthresh arbitrarily high.
LwIP was previously using the receive window value at the end of the
3-way handshake and in the case of an active open where the receiver
used window scaling and/or window auto-tuning, this resulted in a very
small ssthresh value even though the window ramped up once the connection
was established
