This PR marks a checkpoint for this branch which ports the TCP implementation from https://github.com/m-labs/smoltcp.
The protocol library, the ring buffer module, and the reorder buffer are in good shape. The timer module is in good shape but might need to be refactored to work with the timer wheel from #1292. Then the core of TCP, lib.tcp.socket, is only half-ported at this point. I realized that I wasn't sure how I was going to drive the library so I implemented fibers (#1292) and an example app in apps.tcp.server.
