Replace the old naive flow control algorithm.
The new algorithm is much more fair, and considerably reduce the number of WindowAdjust messages exchanged.
The idea is to send WindowAdjust messages only when the scheduler is idle, and focus on handling active connections as fast as possible without sending any WindowAdjust message when it is busy.

After this patch + maximum message size of 4 kB, single connection:
Improvement of 4.2%.
This patch + maximum message size of 16 kB, single connection:
Improvement of 38.6%.
Before this patch, 10 parallel connections:
Notice how some connections are considerably slower.
After this patch + maximum message size of 4 kB, 10 parallel connections:
Improvement of 24.1%.
Also notice how all connections are transferring roughly the same amount of bytes.
