dccp: Query supported CCIDs

This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
and three accessor functions:
- a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
made by the user;
- a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;
- documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.

The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).

Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation
will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()

This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.

Currently the convention is
* values < 0 mean error,
* a value == 0 means "send now", and
* a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds".

The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.
In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
corresponding to 65.535 seconds.

This is possible since in CCID-3 the maximum inter-packet gap is t_mbi = 64 sec.

(Anecdotally, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where

dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsing

This patch ...
1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is
necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state
which options may (not) appear on what packet type.

2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in
RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets")
and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets").

3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This
is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines
are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

Also added documentation and made argument naming scheme consistent.

dccp: Auto-load (when supported) CCID plugins for negotiation

This adds auto-loading of CCIDs (when module loading is enabled)
for the purpose of feature negotiation.

The problem with loading the CCIDs at the end of feature negotiation is
that this would happen in software interrupt context. Besides, if the host
advertises CCIDs during negotiation, it should have them ready to use, in
case an agreeing peer wants to use it for the connection.

dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interface

The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.

The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs earlier in this
patch set.

Also removed the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch rx/non-rx is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is
the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

dccp: API to query the current TX/RX CCID

This provides function to query the current TX/RX CCID dynamically, without
reliance on the minisock value, using dynamic information available in the
currently loaded CCID module.

This query function is then used to
(a) provide the getsockopt part for getting/setting CCIDs via sockopts;
(b) replace the current test for "which CCID is in use" in probe.c.

[DCCP]: Introducing CCMPS

This introduces a CCMPS field for setting a CCID-specific upper bound on the application payload
size, as is defined in RFC 4340, section 14.

Only the TX CCID is considered in setting this limit, since the RX CCID generates comparatively
small (DCCP-Ack) feedback packets. The CCMPS field includes network and transport layer header
lengths. The only current CCMPS customer is CCID4 (via RFC 4828).

A wrapper is used to allow querying the CCMPS even at times where the CCID modules may not have
been fully negotiated yet.

In dccp_sync_mss() the variable `mss_now' has been renamed into `cur_mps', to reflect that we are
dealing with an MPS, but not an MSS.
Since the DCCP code closely follows the TCP code, the identifiers `dccp_sync_mss' and
`dccps_mss_cache' have been kept, as they have direct TCP counterparts.

[DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_options

The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op,
as the operation

DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_c

[DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_options

The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op,
as the operation

DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count;

is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed
entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the
entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to
remove it also, to clean up the interface.
