tcp: fast retransmit improvements
Patch is too large to be ported to 18.10 just days before release.
- handle fast retransmits outside of established node and limit the
retransmit burst size to avoid tx losses and worsening congestion.
- in the absance of a tx pacer, use slow start after fast retransmit
exists
- add fast retransmit heuristic that re-retries sending the first
segment if everything else fails
- fine tuning
