[TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval history

A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to
maintain, allocate, and update.

The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant.

Details:
 * access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks);
 * simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on
   lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service;
 * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval;
 * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm
 	- support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets;
 	- waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole;
	- updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.
