This patch adds the missing bits to support the recovery of TCP flows
without disabling window tracking (aka be_liberal). To ensure a
successful recovery, we have to inject the window scale factor via
ctnetlink.

This patch has been tested with a development snapshot of conntrackd
and the new clause `TCPWindowTracking' that allows to perform strict
TCP window tracking recovery across fail-overs.

With this patch, we don't update the receiver's window until it's not
initiated. We require this to perform a successful recovery. Jozsef
confirmed in a private email that this spotted a real issue since that
should not happen.
