martinthomson approved this pull request.

Oh, I see how this all fits together now. I think that it's entirely too clever.

I suspect that some commentary is going to be needed to explain that the PTO timer isn't armed when

a: the server hits address validation limits (the new text), and
b: the endpoint has nothing to send (except when the client isn't sure that the server has completed validation)

> +  if (IsServerWhichReachedAddressValidationLimit()):
+    loss_detection_timer.cancel()
+    return

The odd mix of pseudo-prose and undefined functions is starting to get noticeable.

```
    if (server is at anti-amplification limit):
```

And later:

```
    if (no ack-eliciting packets in flight &&
        peer not awaiting address validation):
```
