tcp: avoid slow start during fast recovery on new losses

Browse source 
During TCP fast recovery, the congestion control in charge is by
default the Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) unless the congestion
control module specified otherwise (e.g. BBR).

Previously when tcp_packets_in_flight() is below snd_ssthresh PRR
would slow start upon receiving an ACK that
   1) cumulatively acknowledges retransmitted data
   and
   2) does not detect further lost retransmission

Such conditions indicate the repair is in good steady progress
after the first round trip of recovery. Otherwise PRR adopts the
packet conservation principle to send only the amount that was
newly delivered (indicated by this ACK).

This patch generalizes the previous design principle to include
also the newly sent data beside retransmission: as long as
the delivery is making good progress, both retransmission and
new data should be accounted to make PRR more cautious in slow
starting.
