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.
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.

tcp_send_buffered.c: fix iob allocation deadlock
Ensure to put the wrb back onto the write_q when blocking
on iob allocation. Otherwise, it can deadlock with other
threads doing the same thing.
```
I forget to submit this with https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/4257
With an applictation using mbedtls, I observed retransmitted segments
with corrupted user data, detected by the peer tls during mac processing.
Looking at the packet dump, I suspect that a wrb which has been put back
onto the write_q for retransmission was partially sent but fully acked.
Note: it's normal for a retransmission to be acked before sent.
In that case, the bug fixed in this commit would cause the wrb have
a wrong sequence number, possibly the same as the next wrb. It matches
what I saw in the packet dump. That is, the broken segments contain the
payload identical to one of the previous segment.
Consider a bi-directional TCP connection:
1. we use all IOBs for tx queue
2. we advertize zero recv window because we have no free IOBs
3. if the peer tcp does the same thing,
both sides advertize zero window and can not drain the tx queue.
For a similar stall to happen, the peer doesn't need to be
a naive tcp implementation like nuttx. A naive application blocking
on send() without draining its read buffer is enough.
(Probably such an application should be fixed to drain rx even
when tx is full. However, it's another story.)
This commit avoids the situation by prevent tx from grabbing
the all IOBs in the first place. (assuming CONFIG_IOB_THROTTLE > 0)

RFC2001: TCP Slow Start, Congestion Avoidance, Fast Retransmit,
and Fast Recovery Algorithms
...
3. Fast Retransmit
Modifications to the congestion avoidance algorithm were proposed in
1990 [3]. Before describing the change, realize that TCP may
generate an immediate acknowledgment (a duplicate ACK) when an out-
of-order segment is received (Section 4.2.2.21 of [1], with a note
that one reason for doing so was for the experimental fast-
retransmit algorithm). This duplicate ACK should not be delayed.
The purpose of this duplicate ACK is to let the other end know that a
segment was received out of order, and to tell it what sequence
number is expected.
Since TCP does not know whether a duplicate ACK is caused by a lost
segment or just a reordering of segments, it waits for a small number
of duplicate ACKs to be received. It is assumed that if there is
just a reordering of the segments, there will be only one or two
duplicate ACKs before the reordered segment is processed, which will
then generate a new ACK. If three or more duplicate ACKs are
received in a row, it is a strong indication that a segment has been
lost. TCP then performs a retransmission of what appears to be the
missing segment, without waiting for a retransmission timer to
expire.

In the current net stack implementation, there is no mechanism
for notifying the loss of the wireless connection, if the network
is disconnected then application sends data packets through tcp,
the tcp_timer will keep retrying fetch the ack for awhile, the
connection status will not be able to be switched timely.

MSG_DONTWAIT (since Linux 2.2)
Enables nonblocking operation; if the operation would block, the
call fails with the error EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. This provides
similar behavior to setting the O_NONBLOCK flag (via the fcntl(2)
F_SETFL operation), but differs in that MSG_DONTWAIT is a per-call
option, whereas O_NONBLOCK is a setting on the open file description
(see open(2)), which will affect all threads in the calling process
and as well as other processes that hold file descriptors referring
to the same open file description.
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.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/: Fix some naming inconsistencies, Fix final compilation issies.
