[TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval history
A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to maintain, allocate, and update. The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant. Details: * access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks); * simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service; * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval; * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm - support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets; - waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole; - updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.
