[tcp] Allow out-of-order receive queue to be discarded

Allow packets in the receive queue to be discarded in order to free up
memory.  This avoids a potential deadlock condition in which the
missing packet can never be received because the receive queue is
occupying all of the memory available for further RX buffers.
