If you call tcp_tmr() every 250ms it will call tcp_fasttmr and
tcp_slowtmr for you at the appropriate intervals.  You need to be
careful about making sure you don't call tcp_tmr when there are other
threads active (including interrupts) in lwIP however; this is a common
problem in ports of lwIP that leads to internal state being corrupted.
