tipc: send broadcast nack directly upon sequence gap detection
Because of the risk of an excessive number of NACK messages and
retransissions, receivers have until now abstained from sending
broadcast NACKS directly upon detection of a packet sequence number
gap. We have instead relied on such gaps being detected by link
protocol STATE message exchange, something that by necessity delays
such detection and subsequent retransmissions.
With the introduction of unicast NACK transmission and rate control
of retransmissions we can now remove this limitation. We now allow
receiving nodes to send NACKS immediately, while coordinating the
permission to do so among the nodes in order to avoid NACK storms.
