[TCP]: Send ACKs each 2nd received segment.
It does not affect either mss-sized connections (obviously) or
connections controlled by Nagle (because there is only one small
segment in flight).
The idea is to record the fact that a small segment arrives on a
connection, where one small segment has already been received and
still not-ACKed. In this case ACK is forced after tcp_recvmsg() drains
receive buffer.
In other words, it is a "soft" each-2nd-segment ACK, which is enough
to preserve ACK clock even when ABC is enabled.
