I tried to just make a note here saying "if you don't send many packets,
you won't send many packets", but then decided that 3PTO is probably
more sensible. As it is, 3 RTT is the value that the PTO is initialized
to (validation almost always happens on a new path). And the loss of a
single packet just doesn't cut it. Even 3 packets (the first packet,
plus two on PTO, assuming two are sent on PTO) is not that strong, but
at least it isn't insanely tight.

Closes #4132.

We use 3*PTO everywhere else, so suggesting it here makes sense to me.

Makes sense to me. I'd call this editorial, since there's no required behavior that is changed.
