This commit fixes a small bug, where the TcpSocket computed the maximum
size per payload in a tx_buffer without taking into account the MTU
defined by the underlying network device.
Previously, the window update was sent anytime it changed. This is
not desirable for 2 reasons:
- It would send window updates in TimeWait or Closed states, which is incorrect.
- It would send window updates in states where we've already received the
remote side's FIN, such as CloseWait. This is not necessarily incorrect, but
is useless, since the remote side is not going to send us more data, therefore
it's not interested in our window size anymore.
This allows applications to distinguish whether the remote end has
gracefully closed the connection with a FIN (in which case it has
received all the data intact), or the connection has failed due to e.g. a
RST or a timeout (in which case the received data may be truncated).
Previously, `ack_reply()` was sending the ack number present in `remote_last_ack`,
which is only updated by `dispatch`. This means the ack replies could contain
a wrong, old ack number.
Most of the time this simply caused wasting an extra roundtrip until the socket state
settles down, but in extreme cases it could lead to an infinite loop of packets, such
as in https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp/issues/338Fixes#338
`TCPSocket` buffers are type `RingBuffer<'a, _>` whilst other
socket types have buffers with type `PacketBuffer<'a, 'b,
_>`.
There is an enum over socket types `pub enum Socket<'a, 'b: 'a>`,
which is in turn used by `set::Item` and `SocketSet`. The lifetime
`'b` is not required for `TcpSocket`, but the `Into<Socket>`
implementation for `TCPSocket` specifies the `'static` lifetime for
`'b`.
Therefore using `TCPSocket` in a `SocketSet` currently requires the
lifetime `'b` for other sockets to be `'static` which is unnecessarily
restrictive. This patch fixes this.
The lifetime signature of socket specifies `'b: 'a`, that is `'b`
outlives `'a`. Instead of `'static`, this is also satisfied by
`impl<'a> Into<Socket<'a, 'a>> for TcpSocket<'a>` as `'a` "outlives"
`'a` by definition.
The example
[here](https://gist.github.com/richardeoin/b562e79d0d499e00a8bf4944f00594d9)
fails to compile without this patch.

This doesn't affect downstream code because log 0.3.9 is a facade
crate implemented in terms of log 0.4, and so log 0.3 and log 0.4
APIs can be used together.
Improve detection of duplicate ACKs by checking that the segment does
not contain data.
Move implementation from the 'reject unacceptable acknowledgements'
to later in the process function, because a duplicate ACK is not an
'unacceptable' acknowledgement but rather a condition to update state.
Implement more tests to verify the operation of the fast retransmit
implementation.

This optimization makes sure that enqueueing to an empty ring buffer
would never wrap around, in turn ensuring that enqueueing to an empty
packet buffer would never use more than one metadata entry.
Right now, pushing buffer-sized packets into a packet buffer requires
at least two metadata entries, which is surprising and wasteful.
Implement a simple way to discover and respond to three duplicate ACKs
from the reciver of the data. This leads to a fast retransmit of the
last unacknowledged seqment. This is feature is described in [RFC 5681].

Only ACKs generated by `dispatch` were updating
`remote_last_win` but not the ACKs generated by
`process`, failing to keep track of the last
announced receive window. This left
`window_to_update` to return false in `dispatch`
after the RX buffer was emptied, thus not announcing
that the receive window is not zero anymore.
The change updates `remote_last_win` for immediate
ACKs generated by `process`.

- There are several warnings that are thrown when running `cargo doc`. Fix
these warnings.
- Convert all module documentation to use /*! for consistency.
