Tighten up reset handling in order to make reset attacks as difficult as
possible while maintaining compatibility with the widest range of TCP stacks.

The algorithm is as follows:

---
For connections in the ESTABLISHED state, only resets with
sequence numbers exactly matching last_ack_sent will cause a reset,
all other segments will be silently dropped.

For connections in all other states, a reset anywhere in the window
will cause the connection to be reset.  All other segments will be
silently dropped.
---

The necessity of accepting all in-window resets was discovered
by jayanth and jlemon, both of whom have seen TCP stacks that
will respond to FIN-ACK packets with resets not meeting the
strict last_ack_sent check.
