e04310d59b Set slow start threshold more accurately on loss to be flightsize/2 instead of
cwnd/2 as recommended by RFC5681. (spotted by mmacy at nextbsd dot org)

Restore pre-r307901 behavior of aligning ssthresh/cwnd on mss boundary. (spotted

4e7f755377 FreeBSD tcp stack used to inform respective congestion control module about the
loss event but not use or obay the recommendations i.e. values set by it in some
cases.

Here is an attempt to solve that confusion by following relevant RFCs/drafts.
Stack only sets congestion window/slow start threshold values when there is no
CC module availalbe to take that action. All CC modules are inspected and
updated when needed to take appropriate action on loss.

tcp_stacks/fastpath module has been updated to adapt these changes.

Note: Probably, the most significant change would be to not bring congestion
window down to 1MSS on a loss signaled by 3-duplicate acks and letting
respective CC decide that value.

2de3e790f5 - Rename cc.h to more meaningful tcp_cc.h.
- Declare it a kernel only include, which it already is.
- Don't include tcp.h implicitly from tcp_cc.h

64807b300f DCTCP (Data Center TCP) implementation.
DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and minimise
latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit
Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable hardware as a
congestion signal.

Highlights:
Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module.
ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently from
RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.
