This is a fairly big change how we keep track of sent packets. We used to evict packets from the history once they got acknowledged or declared lost.
With this change, packets are only evicted when they are acknowledged. When a packet is declared lost, we still keep it in the history. This allows us generate RTT measurements for packets that were spuriously declared lost.
Packets are now deleted from the history after 3 PTOs (and only if they have been declared lost before).
