rx: Fix starting of transmit timers
The code used to start the transmit timer once for every set of packets
that it sends. However, these packets might be sent individually or in
clumps, with blocking for sendmsg, and on peer->lock, between each set
of packet sends. This has the effect of, even on a very stable network,
producing a high degree of variation in RTTs and timeouts. This is a
particular issue where the connection size is larger, as the number of
packets being sent individually under the one timer grows too.
Fix this by moving timer initialisation to SendList. This already takes
the peer lock, so obtain the timeout value here too. This means that
each jumbo gram, or individual packet (where jumbograms are disabled)
is sent with its own start time, and stabilises RTTs.

rx: More improvments to RTT calculation
Move the decision about whether a packet contributes to the peer's
rount trip time into the CalculateRoundTripTime function, and improve
the criteria used.
Previously, we only computed the RTT if we had not retransmitted. This
is bad, because it means that places where we have backed off in order
to retransmit never actually lengthen the RTT, and so the RTT is kept
artificially low, and we see a large number of retransmits. Instead,
use the serial of the ACK packet to determine which transmission is
being acknowledged, and if it is the first, or the last, transmission
use the appropriate sent time to calculate the RTT.
If we have no serial in the ACK (for a delayed ack, for example), or
if the serial doesn't match (where a single acknowledgement is soft
acking a number of packets), fall back to only using the ack if the
packet has not be retransmitted.
Also, avoid multiple counting of packets which have arrived as part
of a jumbogram by only permitting the last packet in a jumbogram to
contribute to the RTT. This avoids giving the RTT of jumbograms more
weight than those of normal packets - doing so would pull down the
RTT, as it in effect favours packets which have not be retransmitted.

Currently we only reject out-of-order ACKS which change the window
position (so a window that advances, can never go back). However,
we fail to deal with the explicit acknowledgement portion of the ACK
packet in the same way...
For example, if we have a packet A that acknowledges packets 1 and 2,
and then a packet B acknowledging 1,2,3 and 4. If B arrives before A,
then we mark 1, 2, 3, 4 as acknowledged, and then treat the arrival of
A as nAcking 3 and 4. This has the same effect as an explicitly stated
nack, triggers an early and unnecessary resend and may, in some situations,
cause the call to go into congestion avoidance.
We can solve this using the previousPacket field of the ACK. This
indicates the last packet seen by the peer. In the same way as
firstPacket, this should never go backwards, and so can be used to
detect out of order acknowledgements, and reject them.
