In my opinion we should not make up new names for already established
things.  LRO und TSO are established names [1].  If you google "tcp
glue" you will very misleading results.  Looks like its a product name
for some glue.  Also "tcp copper" won't get better search results.

Thus, I suggest to rename tcp_copper() to tcp_softtso() to get things
consistent here.  Or, tcp_tso() and tcp_lro() to keep it shorter.
