NAT44ed: Add pure throuhput bidir tests
+ With ramp-up, without reset, with session verification. + Uses the same profile as pps tests. + Ramp up duration is not specified, as duration is computed. + Timeout tracking with automated ramp-up. + Correct computation of next duration. + Checking both early and late sessions. + No loss measurement also acts as a ramp-up. + Return ReceiveRateMeasurement from send_traffic_on_tg_internal, as that is needed for detecting whether trial is ok as ramp up. - Udp needs quite low ramp-up rate after recent regression. - Max scale has higher rate (so failing) to avoid session timeouts. + Bump copyright year.
