When I fixed the txbuf handling I ripped out the retransmission code since it
was flooding our network when we had the buggy behavior. Turns out this was too
heavy handed as we can still have transient tx timeouts. So instead make sure
we retry our transmission once per timeout. This way we can deal with transient
transmission problems without flooding the box. This fixes an issue we were
seeing in production. Thanks,
