[TCP] FRTO: Fake cwnd for ssthresh callback



TCP without FRTO would be in Loss state with small cwnd. FRTO,
however, leaves cwnd (typically) to a larger value which causes
ssthresh to become too large in case RTO is triggered again
compared to what conventional recovery would do. Because
consecutive RTOs result in only a single ssthresh reduction,
RTO+cumulative ACK+RTO pattern is required to trigger this
event.

A large comment is included for congestion control module writers
trying to figure out what CA_EVENT_FRTO handler should do because
there exists a remote possibility of incompatibility between
FRTO and module defined ssthresh functions.
