The implementation is similar to linux where we track the number of bytes
consumed by the application to grow the receive buffer of a given TCP endpoint.
This ensures that the advertised window grows at a reasonable rate to accomodate
for the sender's rate and prevents large amounts of data being held in stack
buffers if the application is not actively reading or not reading fast enough.
The original paper that was used to implement the linux receive buffer auto-
tuning is available @ https://public.lanl.gov/radiant/pubs/drs/lacsi2001.pdf
NOTE: Linux does not implement DRS as defined in that paper, it's just a good
reference to understand the solution space.

RFC7323 recommends that if the timestamp option was negotiated
then all packets should carry a TCP Timestamp and any packets that
do not should be dropped.
Netstack implemented this behaviour. Linux OTOH does not and will
accept such packets. This change makes Netstack behaviour compatible
with Linux.
Also now that we allow such packets, we do need to update RTO calculations
based on these packets even if timestamp option is enabled.

Previously, if address resolution for UDP or Ping sockets required sending
packets using Write in Transport layer, Resolve would return ErrWouldBlock
and Write would return ErrNoLinkAddress. Meanwhile startAddressResolution
would run in background. Further calls to Write using same address would also
return ErrNoLinkAddress until resolution has been completed successfully.
Since Write is not allowed to block and System Calls need to be
interruptible in System Call layer, the caller to Write is responsible for
blocking upon return of ErrWouldBlock.
Now, when startAddressResolution is called a notification channel for
the completion of the address resolution is returned.
The channel will traverse up to the calling function of Write as well as
ErrNoLinkAddress. Once address resolution is complete (success or not) the
channel is closed. The caller would call Write again to send packets and
check if address resolution was compeleted successfully or not.
