Currently, the broadcast retransmission algorithm is using the
'prev_retr' field in struct tipc_link to time stamp the latest broadcast
retransmission occasion. This helps to restrict retransmission of
individual broadcast packets to max once per 10 milliseconds, even
though all other criteria for retransmission are met.
We now move this time stamp to the control block of each individual
packet, and remove other limiting criteria. This simplifies the
retransmission algorithm, and eliminates any risk of logical errors
in selecting which packets can be retransmitted.
