dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detection

This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module
is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1:

 * when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set
 * X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2,
 * corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%.

The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv()
and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate()
has been added.  Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises
the first entry with a sequence number of GSR.
