tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages when link is down 

When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact
with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each
timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently
375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large
clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously.

We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The
first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message
is sent only each 16th timer interval.

This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the
endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link
should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be
reduced.

The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment
times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the
transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience
a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem
acceptable.
