Align RTT estimation and RTO calculation to RFC 6298.
In particular, this fixes exponential backoff in retransmissions, because
the RTO is supposed to be stored in a persistent variable so we can double it on
retransmission and have it "stick", while we were storing it in the timer which would
get cleared every time we exited retransmit state.
