Suggest TCP/IP tuning to prevent buffer bloat + latency (#976) 

* Suggest TCP/IP CoDel and BBR congestion control in production guide

This seems to be helping lots on my server, where the default
(Debian 9) was to use FIFO queueing which would cause buffer bloat
and huge latency for clients on slower network links.

Your distro may enable this by default, but at least Debian 9 does not, and the default FIFO
scheduler is quite prone to "Buffer Bloat" and extreme latency when dealing with slower client
links as we often encounter in a video server.
