[slam] Add support for SLAM window lengths of greater than one packet

Add the definition of SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK, which is roughly
equivalent to a TCP window size; it represents the maximum number of
packets that will be requested in a single NACK.

Note that, to keep the code size down, we still limit ourselves to
requesting only a single range per NACK; if the missing-block list is
discontiguous then we may request fewer than SLAM_MAX_BLOCKS_PER_NACK
blocks.
