Summary

Missed the change triggered ACKs from AccECN draft. Whenever the accumulated
change in the locally received CE packet counter (rcep) exceeds 3, immediately
reflect that change back to the other end with a pure ACK.

Also, minor updates around ACE helper functions:

  • make them static inline
  • get/set by using masking and shifting
