Send an ACK frame with the current txack value in response to
every received reliable frame unless a TX reliable frame is being
sent. This modification allows re-transmitted frames from the remote
peer to be acknowledged rather than ignored. It means that the remote
peer knows which frame number to start re-transmitting from.
Without this modification, the recovery time to a missing frame
from the remote peer was unnecessarily being extended because the
headers of the out of order reliable frames were being discarded rather
than being processed. The frame headers of received frames will
indicate whether the local peer's transmissions have been
acknowledged by the remote peer. Therefore, the local peer may
unnecessarily re-transmit despite the remote peer already indicating
that the frame had been acknowledged in out of order reliable frame.
