Fix two bugs in TCP sender.
a) When GSO is in use we should not cap the segment to maxPayloadSize in sender.maybeSendSegment as the GSO logic will cap the segment to the correct size. Without this the host GSO is not used as we end up breaking up large segments into small MSS sized segments before writing the packets to the host. b) The check to not split a segment due to it not fitting in the receiver window when there are pending segments is incorrect as segments in writeList can be really large as we just take the write call's buffer size and create a single large segment. So a write of say 128KB will just be 1 segment in the writeList. The linux code checks if 1 MSS sized segments fits in the receiver's window and if not then does not split the current segment. gVisor's check was incorrect that it was checking if the whole segment which could be >>> 1 MSS would fit in the receiver's window. This was causing us to prematurely stop sending and falling back to retransmit timer/probe from the other end to send data. This was seen when running HTTPD benchmarks where @ HEAD when sending large files the benchmark was taking forever to run. The tcp_splitseg_mss_test.go is being deleted as the test as written doesn't test what is intended correctly. This is because GSO is enabled by default and the reason the MSS+1 sized segment is sent is because GSO is in use. A proper test will require disabling GSO on linux and netstack which is going to take a bit of work in packetimpact to do it correctly. Separately a new test probably should be written that verifies that a segment > availableWindow is not split if the availableWindow is < 1 MSS. Fixes #3107 PiperOrigin-RevId: 319172089
