[TCP]: Remove TCP Compound

This reverts: f890f921040fef6a35e39d15b729af1fd1a35f29

The inclusion of TCP Compound needs to be reverted at this time
because it is not 100% certain that this code conforms to the
requirements of Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 paragraph (b).

- * TCP Vegas congestion control
- *
- * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
- *    Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
- *    "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
- *    IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
- *    October 1995. Available from:
- *	ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
- *
- * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
- * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
- * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
- *   o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
- *     Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
- *     using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
- *   o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
- *     only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
- *     every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
- *   o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
- *     we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
- *     rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
- *   o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
- *     to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
- *   o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
- *     minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
- *     the actual rate.
- *   o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
- *     received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
- *     a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
- *     assumed senders never went idle.
- *
- *
- *   TCP Compound based on TCP Vegas
- *
- *   further details can be found here:
- *      ftp://ftp.research.microsoft.com/pub/tr/TR-2005-86.pdf
