dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detection
This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module
is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1:
* when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set
* X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2,
* corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%.
The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv()
and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate()
has been added. Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises
the first entry with a sequence number of GSR.
