    tcp: improve SEG.ACK validation in SYN-RECEIVED
    
    According to the fifth step in SEGMENT ARRIVES, send a RST segment in
    response to an ACK segment which fails the SEG.ACK check, but leave
    the endpoint state unchanged.
    FreeBSD handles this correctly when entering the SYN-RECEIVED state via
    the SYN-SENT state, but not in the SYN-cache code, which handles the
    SYN-RECEIVED state via the LISTEN state.
    
    This also fixes a panic reported by Alexander Leidinger.
