adds the new I-Data (Interleaved Data) message. This allows a user
to be able to have complete freedom from Head Of Line blocking that
was previously there due to the in-ability to send multiple large
messages without the TSN's being in sequence. The code as been
tested with Michaels various packet drill scripts as well as
inter-networking between the IETF's location in Argentina and Germany.
1) We were not handling (or sending) the IN_PROGRESS case if
the other side (or our side) was not able to reset (awaiting more data).
2) We would improperly send a stream-reset when we should not. Not
waiting until the TSN had been assigned when data was inqueue.

o Introduce a notion of "not ready" mbufs in socket buffers. These
mbufs are now being populated by some I/O in background and are
referenced outside. This forces following implications:
- An mbuf which is "not ready" can't be taken out of the buffer.
- An mbuf that is behind a "not ready" in the queue neither.
- If sockbet buffer is flushed, then "not ready" mbufs shouln't be
freed.
o In struct sockbuf the sb_cc field is split into sb_ccc and sb_acc.
The sb_ccc stands for ""claimed character count", or "committed
character count". And the sb_acc is "available character count".
Consumers of socket buffer API shouldn't already access them directly,
but use sbused() and sbavail() respectively.
o Not ready mbufs are marked with M_NOTREADY, and ready but blocked ones
with M_BLOCKED.
o New field sb_fnrdy points to the first not ready mbuf, to avoid linear
search.
o New function sbready() is provided to activate certain amount of mbufs
in a socket buffer.
A special note on SCTP:
SCTP has its own sockbufs. Unfortunately, FreeBSD stack doesn't yet
allow protocol specific sockbufs. Thus, SCTP does some hacks to make
itself compatible with FreeBSD: it manages sockbufs on its own, but keeps
sb_cc updated to inform the stack of amount of data in them. The new
notion of "not ready" data isn't supported by SCTP. Instead, only a
mechanical substitute is done: s/sb_cc/sb_ccc/.
A proper solution would be to take away struct sockbuf from struct
socket and allow protocols to implement their own socket buffers, like
SCTP already does. This was discussed with rrs@.

packets based on the V-tag number. This is similar to
what a modern card can do with queue's for TCP... but
alas modern cards know nothing about SCTP.

2) Add separate max-bursts for retransmit and hb. These
are set to sysctlable values but not settable via the
socket api. This makes sure we don't blast out HB's or
fast-retransmits.
3) Determine on the first data transmission on a net if
its local-lan (by being under or over a RTT). This
can later be used to think about different algorithms
based on locallan vs big-i (experimental)
4) The cwnd should NOT be allowed to grow when an ECNEcho
is seen (TCP has this same bug). We fix this in SCTP
so an ECNe being seen prevents an advance of cwnd.
5) CWR's should not be sent multiple times to the
same network, instead just updating the TSN being
transmitted if needed.

1) We now remove ECN-Nonce since it will no longer continue as a I-D
2) Eliminate last_tsn_echo, this tied us to an assoc not the net
and thus we were not doing m-homing on the ECN-Echo senders side right.
3) Increment the count going out even if the TSN in lower in the pending
ECN-Echo, this way the receiver knows exactly how many packets were
marked even with network re-ordering
4) Fix so we DO NOT stop doing delayed sack if a ECN Echo is in queue

1) ECN was on an association basis, this is incorrect and
will not work with CMT or for that matter if the user
is sending to multiple addresses. This commit makes
ECN on a per path basis.
2) Adopt the new format for the ECN internet draft. This also
maintains compatability with old format chunks as well.
