twcc: Better handle duplicate packets

The previous code would only check if two packets in a row were duplicates. If
not (i.e. a packet is a duplicate of a packet received slightly before) the code
would generate completely bogus FCI because it assumes there were no duplicates
present in the array.

In order to be efficient, just store all received packets and remove the
duplicates just before the FCI is generated once the array of observations have
been sorted by seqnum.

Fixes TWCC usage with moderate to high packet duplication.
