Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

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The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer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.
Also removed are 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).

This patch provides the post-processing of feature negotiation state, after
the negotiation has completed.
To this purpose, handlers are used and added to the dccp_feat_table. Each
handler is passed a boolean flag whether the RX or TX side of the feature
is meant.
Several handlers are provided already, new handlers can easily be added.
The initialisation is now fully dynamic, i.e. CCIDs are activated only
after the feature negotiation. The integration of this dynamic activation
is done in the subsequent patches.

This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).
For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
* since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing
endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;
* a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);
* for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
in the source code.
An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.
Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.
The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.
The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

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.

In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, which
establishes the capabilities of both endpoints, this patch introduces support
for dynamic exchange of feature negotiation options.
Such a dynamic exchange is necessary in at least two cases:
* CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection;
* Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as
as the connection progresses".
Both are NN (non-negotiable) features. Hence dynamic feature "negotiation" is
distinguished from static/pre-connection negotiation by the following:
* no new capabilities are negotiated (those that matter for the connection
are negotiated prior to setting up the connection, comparable to SIP);
* features must be understood by each endpoint: as per RFC 4340, 6.4,
Sequence Window is "Req'd" and Ack Ratio must be understood when CCID-2
is used as per the note underneath Table 4.
These characteristics are reflected in the implementation:
* only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup;
* NN options are activated directly after validating them. The rationale is
that a peer must accept every valid NN value (RFC 4340, 6.3.2), hence it
will either accept the value and send a "Confirm R", or it will send an
empty Confirm (which will reset the connection according to FN rules).
* An Ack is scheduled directly after activation to accelerate communicating
the update to the peer.

This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls related to
feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some of the sysctls
now directly act on the feature-negotiation process.
The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each feature.
For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340 are used:
* Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
* Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
* CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
* request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
* tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
* sync_ratelimit remains as before.

This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the
* sequence-number-validity (W) and
* acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows
derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.
Specifically, the following changes are introduced:
* integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk;
* updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields;
* updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side,
so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false;
* the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since
- rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere;
- sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3);
- dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously;
* the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.
Until the handshake completes with activating negotiated values, the local/remote
Sequence-Window values are undefined and thus can not reliably be estimated.

preserved in the local data structure (the later insertion code also respects
this order).
The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most
frequent operations are
* add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket options);
* delete entry (when Confirm has been received);
* deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto request socket).
The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient upper limit
(Sequence Window feature has 48 bit).

dccp_feat_change() validates length and on error is returning 1.
This happens to work since call chain is checking for 0 == success,
but this is returned to userspace, so make it a real error value.

This removes several `XXX' references which indicate a missing support
for non-1-byte feature values: this is unnecessary, as all currently known
(standardised) SP feature values are 1-byte quantities.

This removes two inlines which were both called in a single function only:
1) dccp_feat_change() is always called with either DCCPO_CHANGE_L or DCCPO_CHANGE_R as argument
* from dccp_set_socktopt_change() via do_dccp_setsockopt() with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L
* from __dccp_feat_init() via dccp_feat_init() also with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L.
Hence the dccp_feat_is_valid_type() is completely unnecessary and always returns true.
2) Due to (1), the length test reduces to 'len >= 4', which in turn makes
dccp_feat_is_valid_length() unnecessary.
Furthermore, the inline function dccp_feat_is_reserved() was unfolded,
since only called in a single place.
