and removed two tcp_send_txnotify() calls from tcp_sendfile (they are not needed anymore).
As a result, the TX throughput of both the tcp_send_buffered and tcp_send_unbuffered
is significantly boosted in case of TUN/TAP network device.
According to RFC 5681 (3.2) the TCP Fast Retransmit algorithm should start
if the threshold of 3 duplicate ACKs is reached.
Thus the threshold should be a constant, not an integer option.
(conn->sndseq was updated in multiple places that was unreasonable and complicated).
This optimization is the same as it was done for tcp_send_unbuffered.
Do not use pvconn argument to get the TCP connection pointer because pvconn is
normally NULL for some events like NETDEV_DOWN. Instead, the TCP connection pointer
can be reliably obtained from the corresponding TCP socket.
Both the snd_ackcb and snd_datacb callbacks were created and destroyed right after sending every packet.
Whenever TCP_REXMIT event occurred due to TCP send timeout, TCP_REXMIT was ignored because
snd_ackcb callback had been destroyed by the time.
The issue is fixed as follows:
- both the snd_ackcb and snd_datacb callbacks are combined into one snd_cb callback
(the same way as in tcp_send_unbuffered.c).
- the snd_cb callback lives until all requested data (via sendfile) is sent,
including all ACKs and possible retransmissions.
As a positive side effect of the code optimization / fix, sendfile TCP payload throughput is increased.
tcp_sendfile() reads data directly from a file and does not use NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS data flow
even if CONFIG_NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS option is enabled.
Despite this, tcp_sendfile relied on NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS specific flow control variables that
were idle during sendfile operation. Thus it was a total inconsistency.
E.g. because of the issue, TCP socket used by sendfile() operation never issued
FIN packet on close() command, and the TCP connection hung up.
As a result of the fix, simultaneously enabled CONFIG_NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS and
CONFIG_NET_SENDFILE options can coexist.

quote from https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sendfile.2.html:
If offset is not NULL, then it points to a variable holding the
file offset from which sendfile() will start reading data from
in_fd. When sendfile() returns, this variable will be set to the
offset of the byte following the last byte that was read. If
offset is not NULL, then sendfile() does not modify the file
offset of in_fd; otherwise the file offset is adjusted to reflect
the number of bytes read from in_fd.
If offset is NULL, then data will be read from in_fd starting at
the file offset, and the file offset will be updated by the call.
The change also align with the implementation at:

1.Consolidate absolute to relative timeout conversion into one place(_net_timedwait)
2.Drive the wait timeout logic by net_timedwait instead of devif_timer
This patch help us remove devif_timer(period tick) to save the power in the future.

Net cleanup (#17)
* Fix the semaphore usage issue found in tcp/udp
1. The count semaphore need disable priority inheritance
2. Loop again if net_lockedwait return -EINTR
3. Call nxsem_trywait to avoid the race condition
4. Call nxsem_post instead of sem_post
* Put the work notifier into free list to avoid the heap fragment in the long run. Since the allocation strategy is encapsulated internally, we can even refine the implementation later.
* Network stack shouldn't allocate memory in the poll implementation to avoid the heap fragment in the long run, other modification include:
1. Select MM_IOB automatically since ICMP[v6] socket can't work without the read ahead buffer
2. Remove the net lock since xxx_callback_free already do the same thing
3. TCP/UDP poll should work even the read ahead buffer isn't enabled at all
* Add NET_ prefix for UDP_NOTIFIER and TCP_NOTIFIER option to align with other UDP/TCP option convention
* Remove the unused _SF_[IDLE|ACCEPT|SEND|RECV|MASK] flags since there are code to set/clear these flags, but nobody check them.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/tmp: Rename the unacked field of the tcp connection structure to tx_unacked. Too confusing with the implementation of delayed RX ACKs.
net/tcp: Initial implementation of TCP delayed ACKs.
net/tcp: Add delayed ACK configuration selection. Rename tcp_ack() to tcp_synack(). It may or may not send a ACK. It will always send SYN or SYN/ACK.
1. For buffered tcp/udp case, if CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ARP_IPIN/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR isn't enabled and the table doesn't contain ip<->ethaddr mapping yet, the logic will skip the realtransmission and then arp/neighbor can't steal the final buffer to generate arp/icmpv6 packet.
2.for all other case, the tcp layer or user program should already contain the retransmit logic, the check is redundancy and may generate many duplicated packets if arp/icmpv6 response is too slow because the cursor stop forward. If user still concern about the very first packet lost, he could fix the issue by enabling CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR at begin.
