The initial default value of 0 for tp->rate_app_limited was incorrect,
since a flow is indeed application-limited until it first sends
data. Fixing the default to be 1 is generally correct but also
specifically will help user-space applications avoid using the initial
tcpi_delivery_rate value of 0 that persists until the connection has
some non-zero bandwidth sample.
