Loopback fast path is deprected on Windows and can cause high cpu on Win Server 2019

[maksimkim]

See deprecation statement: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/sio-loopback-fast-path
After upgrade from Server 2016 to Server 2019 we noticed issue with high cpu usage by system.exe process. Windows Server support engineers claim that it could be caused by some bug in loopback fast path implementation in tcp.sys.
Given the feature is deprecated does it make sense to remove it from the source code?

Yes, with that document: I'm happy to remove that. It was actually added by Microsoft, but: agree it should go now.
