Subject: [PATCH -next] net: tcp: add mib counters to track zero window transitions

Three counters are added:
- one to track when we went from non-zero to zero window
- one to track the reverse
- one counter incremented when we want to announce zero window.

The latter is added because it can show cases where we want to close the
window but can't because we would shrink window.

 Eric, is this what you had in mind?

 I re-ran my 'slow-sender-with-reader-that-does-not-drain-socket'
 scenario and, as expected, only TCPWANTZEROWINDOW increases.

 Thanks,
 Florian
