To me it seems the errata is valid; in fact, quicly conforms to the
"corrected" logic.

Fortunately, the difference between the two logic seems small to me; in the
original approach, rttvar will be 7/8 of the correct value. RTT estimates
are going to differ among the implementations anyway (due to e.g., how
frequently they are updated between transport protocols, ACK coalescing,
etc.), so my humble guess is that 7/8 would not cause any issues.
