H A Dtimer.cdiff f74e91b6cca5889e667193c7e794186db73c2000 Wed Nov 12 02:42:58 CST 2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> dccp: Limit feature negotiation to connection setup phase

This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase:

1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any
time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex,
as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation.
2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the
feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now
mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission.
Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\
implementation_notes.html

This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full
feature negotiation support for connection setup.
