In line with our established principles for retransmission, I've reworked the description of packetization. The description now concentrates on the information that is being repaired in response to perceived loss. This should help avoid the confusion about retransmission. Two new subsections are added to the packetization section. One covers the processing of packets and includes the existing text on processing requirements before acknowledgment. The other includes the retransmission logic. The retransmission section still mentions frame types, but I've tried to make that secondary to the description of the information that is being repaired. I also removed mention of "Regular QUIC packets", which only occurred in 3 places. Closes #463, #765.

We have a bunch of things in Section 9 (Packetization) that aren't very well structured: PMTUD, frame assembly into packets, retransmission, acknowledgements, etc... This could be restructured a little to make it more accessible.
