[new release] tcpip (7.1.2)

[dinosaure]

OCaml TCP/IP networking stack, used in MirageOS

• Project page: https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip
• Documentation: https://mirage.github.io/mirage-tcpip/

CHANGES:

• TCP: fix memory leaks on connection close in three scenarios (Fixing memory leaks when a simultaneous close is happening mirage/mirage-tcpip#489 @TheLortex)
  • simultanous close: set up the timewait timer in the Closing(1) - Recv_ack(2) -> Time_wait
    state transition
  • client sends a RST instead of a FIN: enable sending a challenge ACK even when the reception
    thread is stopped
  • client doesn't ACK server's FIN: enable the retransmit timer in the Closing(_) state

There is a single failure for MacOS tests: is there something to do about it ?

#   [FAIL]        socket                      0   two sockets connect via TCP.
#   [SKIP]        socket                      1   icmp echo-requests are sent.
#   [FAIL]        socket                      2   file descriptors are not leak...

It would be nice to check these are not actual errors.

since it is the socket stack, I doubt the changes from 7.1.1..7.1.2 are related. I also remember that some of these tests were sometimes failing on macos. IMHO good to merge. if you've a mac and some time, please investigate what the issue is.
