    Clear outbuf_flushlen when we clear a connection's outbuf
    
    When we added single_conn_free_bytes(), we cleared the outbuf on a
    connection without setting outbuf_flushlen() to 0.  This could cause
    an assertion failure later on in flush_buf().
    
    Fixes bug 23690; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
