[RFC PATCH 04/28] tcp: create FLAG_TS_PROGRESS

["Ilpo Järvinen" <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi>]

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@cs.helsinki.fi>

Whenever timestamp advances, it declares progress which
can be used the other parts of the stack to decide that
the ACK is the most recent one seen so far.

AccECN will use this flag when deciding whether to update
CEP from the ACE field or not.
