tcp: export data delivery rate
This commit export two new fields in struct tcp_info: tcpi_delivery_rate: The most recent goodput, as measured by tcp_rate_gen(). If the socket is limited by the sending application (e.g., no data to send), it reports the highest measurement instead of the most recent. The unit is bytes per second (like other rate fields in tcp_info). tcpi_delivery_rate_app_limited: A boolean indicating if the goodput was measured when the socket's throughput was limited by the sending application. This delivery rate information can be useful for applications that want to know the current throughput the TCP connection is seeing, e.g. adaptive bitrate video streaming. It can also be very useful for debugging or troubleshooting.
