Michael Brown c117b25e0b [tcp] Do not shrink window when discarding received packets 
We currently shrink the TCP window permanently if we are ever forced
(by a low-memory condition) to discard a previously received TCP
packet.  This behaviour was intended to reduce the number of
retransmissions in a lossy network, since lost packets might
potentially result in the entire window contents being retransmitted.

Since commit e0fc8fe ("[tcp] Implement support for TCP Selective
Acknowledgements (SACK)") the cost of lost packets has been reduced by
around one order of magnitude, and the reduction in the window size
(which affects the maximum throughput) is now the more significant
cost.

Remove the code which reduces the TCP maximum window size when a
received packet is discarded.
