BUG/MINOR: quic: MIssing check when building TX packets
When building an ack-eliciting frame only packet, if we did not manage to add
at least one such a frame to the packet, we did not notify the caller about
the fact the packet is empty. This could lead the caller to believe
everything was ok and make it endlessly try to build packet again and again.
This issue was amplified by the recent changes where a while(1) loop has been
added to qc_send_app_pkt() which calls qc_do_build_pkt() through qc_prep_app_pkts()
until we could not prepare packets. Before this recent change, I guess only
one empty packet was sent.
This patch checks that non empty packets could be built by qc_do_build_pkt()
and makes this function return an error if this was the case. Also note that
such an issue could happened only when the packet building was limited by
the congestion control.
Thank you to Tristan for having reported this issue in GH #1808.
Must be backported to 2.6.
