When there is a backlog of mesh packets to be sent, the packet sender
incorrectly infers that the tx worker thread is already running
and therefore needn't be invoked. As a result, the mesh daemon will
sometimes stop broadcasting while there are still packets in the queue.
It will not resume broadcasting.
This patch will invoke the tx worker thread correctly in that case.
The logic to send packets at least twice when the transmitter is idle
was slightly modified accordingly, and should behave the same way as
before.
