Description of changes:
PTO is a loss recovery mechanism that works by sending packet probes to the peer to trigger an acknowledgement. Repeated probes are separated by a time value calculated using the round trip time estimate and a backoff factor. The backoff factor is reset each time a packet number space is discarded, as this is an indication of connection progress. During the handshake, this backoff factor was being reset each time a handshake packet was transmitted. This PR fixes this by only resetting the backoff factor once when the initial space is discarded.
Testing:
Adds an integration test.
