[CCID2]: Disable broken Ack Ratio adaptation algorithm
This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm:
- The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and
hence in fact is a read-only constant.
- The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet),
and there is no test for Ack Loss.
- The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation
at the moment is inconsistent with this concept.
The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted,
which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented.
In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by
changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times.
A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by
the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.
