[TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.

Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease.  Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.

Minor behaviour change to TCP compound.  It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.
