[TCP]: FRTO undo response falls back to ratehalving one if ECEd

Undoing ssthresh is disabled in fastretrans_alert whenever
FLAG_ECE is set by clearing prior_ssthresh. The clearing does
not protect FRTO because FRTO operates before fastretrans_alert.
Moving the clearing of prior_ssthresh earlier seems to be a
suboptimal solution to the FRTO case because then FLAG_ECE will
cause a second ssthresh reduction in try_to_open (the first
occurred when FRTO was entered). So instead, FRTO falls back
immediately to the rate halving response, which switches TCP to
CA_CWR state preventing the latter reduction of ssthresh.

If the first ECE arrived before the ACK after which FRTO is able
to decide RTO as spurious, prior_ssthresh is already cleared.
Thus no undoing for ssthresh occurs. Besides, FLAG_ECE should be
set also in the following ACKs resulting in rate halving response
that sees TCP is already in CA_CWR, which again prevents an extra
ssthresh reduction on that round-trip.

If the first ECE arrived before RTO, ssthresh has already been
adapted and prior_ssthresh remains cleared on entry because TCP
is in CA_CWR (the same applies also to a case where FRTO is
entered more than once and ECE comes in the middle).

High_seq must not be touched after tcp_enter_cwr because CWR
round-trip calculation depends on it.

I believe that after this patch, FRTO should be ECN-safe and
even able to take advantage of synergy benefits.
