InitCwndUnderFastRetran2.seq - Verify that cwnd is update correctly when T3-rtx timer expires on an address

and T3-rtx timer expires on an address.

Association is established between endpoint A and B. Arrange data
in endpoint B such that messages is sent to endpoint A.

TEST DESCRIPTION:
1. Check A: the initial cwnd before DATA transmission is set to 4380.
2. From endpoint B, send valid DATA message 5 times to endpoint A,
when there is association between them.
3. From endpoint A, send SACK of the first 2 DATA messages to
endpoint B.
4. Check B: Congestion control window is 5880 now.
5. From endpoint A, send SACK of the 1st, 3rd DATA messages to
endpoint B, report the 2nd message is missing.
6. From endpoint A, send SACK of the 1st, 3rd and 4th DATA messages
to endpoint B, report the 2nd message is missing.
7. From endpoint A, send SACK of the 1st, 3rd to 5th DATA messages
to endpoint B, report the 2nd message is missing.
8. Check C: The 2nd DATA messages is send again immediately.
9. Check D: Congestion control window is 6000 now.
10.Don't send SACK, let T3-rtx timer of DATA2 expires.
11.The 2nd DATA messages is send again, send SACK of all DATA to
endpoint B.
12.Check E: Congestion control window is 1500 now.
13.Received and SACK the rest DATA messages.

RFC 4960
7.2.3. Congestion Control
Upon detection of packet losses from SACK (see Section 7.2.4), an
endpoint should do the following:
ssthresh = max(cwnd/2, 4*MTU)
cwnd = ssthresh
partial_bytes_acked = 0
Basically, a packet loss causes cwnd to be cut in half.
When the T3-rtx timer expires on an address, SCTP should perform slow
start by:
ssthresh = max(cwnd/2, 4*MTU)
cwnd = 1*MTU
and ensure that no more than one SCTP packet will be in flight for
that address until the endpoint receives acknowledgement for
successful delivery of data to that address.
