This adapts the approach from the single-packet-per-poll-loop improvement
to sending more packets while the socket can take them.
It still falls back to the multi-state scheme if the socket ever chokes,
which it certainly will on larger files, so it's safe while being highly
efficient at smaller file sizes.
Nor should it significantly add to latency for other sockets, it simply
stuffs the pipe asynchronously as much as the pipe can take.
We also increase the packet payoad size from 512 to 1400 a time.
This reduces the time taken in the 300 connection / 5000 transfers ab test
from >8s to ~3.4s, transferring the same amount of data.
