If the machine has network cards found, but there are no tcp open sockets
(because the user doesn't use the network to boot), then grub_net_tcp_retransmit()
should be a noop. Thus GRUB doesn't need to call grub_get_time_ms(), which
does a call into firmware on powerpc-ieee1275, and probably other targets.
So only call grub_get_time_ms() if there are tcp sockets.
Aside from improving performance, its also useful to stay out of the firmware
as much as possible when debugging via QEMU because its a pain to get back
in to GRUB execution. grub_net_tcp_retransmit() can get called very frequently
via grub_net_poll_cards_idle() when GRUB is waiting for a keypress
(grub_getkey_noblock() calls grub_net_poll_cards_idle()). This can be annoying
when debugging an issue in GRUB on PowerPC in QEMU with GDB when GRUB is waiting
for a keypress because interrupting via GDB nearly always lands in the OpenBIOS
firmware's milliseconds call.

While adding tcp window scaling support I was finding that I'd get some packet
loss or reordering when transferring from large distances and grub would just
timeout. This is because we weren't ack'ing when we got our OOO packet, so the
sender didn't know it needed to retransmit anything, so eventually it would fill
the window and stop transmitting, and we'd time out. Fix this by ACK'ing when
we don't find our next sequence numbered packet. With this fix I no longer time
out. Thanks,

Using the http module to download config files, produces memory errors,
after the config file is downloaded.
The error was traced to the tcp stack in grub-core/net/tcp.c. The wrong
netbuff pointer was being freed in the clean up loop.
Changing the code to free the correct netbuff pointer removes the runtime
error.
