Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] [TCP]: Add highest_sack seqno, points to globally highest SACK

It is guaranteed to be valid only when !tp->sacked_out. In most
cases this seqno is available in the last ACK but there is no
guarantee for that. The new fast recovery loss marking algorithm
needs this as entry point.
