d00f 8d7faf5312 httpd: retransmit a continued chunk from where it was sent
A file larger than the output buffer is sent in two phases: the first
buffer goes out in MSS-sized pieces, with o_idx walking through it, and
what is left is then streamed from flash a chunk at a time into outbuf
from offset 0.

The continuation branch never reset o_idx, so it kept the offset the first
phase had left it at, while uip_rexmit() retransmits from outbuf + o_idx.
A lost continuation segment was therefore retransmitted as the bytes 1460
further into the buffer, which the client accepts as the missing data, and
with o_idx + slen past the 2500-byte buffer it also read whatever xdata
follows outbuf.

Reproduced on a SWTGW218AS by dropping 15% of the switch's TCP segments:
seven of eight fetches of a 21 kB static came back the right length and
the wrong content, each first differing at a fixed phase of the 1460-byte
chunk. With o_idx reset the retransmission repeats the chunk it sent.

The o_idx += slen right after slen = 0 went too: it added nothing.
