dcsctp: Don't sent more packets before COOKIE ACK

While in the COOKIE ECHO state, there is a TCB and there might be data
in the send buffer, and RFC4960 allows the COOKIE ECHO chunk to bundle
additional DATA chunks in the same packet, but there mustn't be more
than one such packet sent, and that packet must have a COOKIE ECHO chunk
as the first chunk in it.

When the COOKIE ACK chunk has been received, the socket is allowed to
send multiple packets.

Previously, this was state managed by the socket and not the TCB, as
the socket is responsible for moving between the different states. And
when the COOKIE ECHO chunk was sent, the TCB was instructed to only send
a single packet by the socket.

However, if there were retransmissions or anything else that could
result in calling TransmissionControlBlock::SendBufferedChunks, it would
do as instructed and send those, even if the socket was in a state where
that wasn't allowed.

When the peer was dcSCTP, this didn't cause any issues as dcSCTP tries
to be tolerant in what it receives (but strict in what it sends, except
for when there are bugs). When the peer was usrsctp, it would send an
ABORT for each received packet that didn't have a COOKIE ECHO as the
first chunk, and then restart the handshake (sending an INIT). So this
resulted in a longer handshake, but the connection would eventually be
correctly established and any DATA chunks that resulted in the ABORTs
would've been retransmitted.

By making the TCB aware of that particular state, and to make it
responsible for creating the SCTP packet with the COOKIE ECHO chunk
first, and also to only send a single packet when it is in that state,
there will not be any way to bypass this limitation.

Also, while not explicitly mentioned in the RFC, the retransmission
timer will not affect resending any outstanding DATA chunks that were
bundled together with the COOKIE ECHO chunk, as then there would be two
timers that both would drive resending COOKIE ECHO and DATA chunks.
