1) Set the persist timer to help time-out connections in the CLOSING state.
2) Honor the keep-alive timer in the CLOSING state.
This fixes problems with connections getting "stuck" due to incompletion
of the final connection shutdown which can be a BIG problem on busy WWW
servers.
have to decide whether to send a CC or CCnew option in our SYN segment
depending on the contents of our TAO cache. This decision has to be
made once when the connection starts. The earlier code delayed this
decision until the segment was assembled in tcp_output() and
retransmitted SYN segments could have different CC options.

a few new wrinkles for MTU discovery which tcp_output() had better
be prepared to handle. ip_output() is also modified to do something
helpful in this case, since it has already calculated the information
we need.

untested becausse (sniff!) I don't have easy access to a network with
an MTU of less than an Ethernet. If you have a small MTU network,
please try it and tell me if it works!

proceeding without sending any of the data. This makes it consistent
with the `#ifdef notyet' case immediately above.

NB: This has not had David's TCP ACK hack re-integrated. It is not clear
what the correct solution to this problem is, if any. If a better solution
doesn't pop up in response to this message, I'll put David's code back in
(or he's welcome to do so himself).
