Log Message:

	sys/netinet/tcp_subr.c: revision 1.300

tcp: set initial RTO to 1s per RFC 6298
Lower TCPTV_SRTTDFLT from 3s to 1s and adjust the t_rttvar seed in
tcp_tcpcb_template() so the pre-measurement TCP_REXMTVAL() equals
TCPTV_SRTTDFLT (was 2*TCPTV_SRTTDFLT).  Active opens and SYN|ACK
retransmits now start at 1s and back off 1, 2, 4, ... per RFC 6298
sections 2.1 and 5.5.  Post-first-sample RTO is unchanged.

Pin tcp_msl_remote_threshold to its previous numeric default (3*PR_SLOWHZ)
so the SRTTDFLT change does not move an unrelated TIME_WAIT-shortening
tunable.

This is conceptually https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18941 which we ran at a
large CDN, modified for NetBSD's stack.
