in `DetectLostPackets`, `lost_pn` is computed as
```
lost_pn = largest_acked_packet[pn_space] - kPacketThreshold
```
However, `largest_acked_packet` is initialied to zero
```
largest_acked_packet[pn_space] = 0
```
and so the subtraction can cause `lost_pn` to go negative when `DetectLostPackets` is called before an ACK is received (since it will be updated only in `OnAckReceived`.

Suggest to initialize `largest_acked_packet` to infinity and to explicitly check for this case.
