[DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviour 



This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).

It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.

The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.

Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).

Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

Sysctl variables

================

Several DCCP default parameters can be managed by the following sysctls

(sysctl net.dccp.default or /proc/sys/net/dccp/default):



request_retries

	The number of active connection initiation retries (the number of

	Requests minus one) before timing out. In addition, it also governs

	the behaviour of the other, passive side: this variable also sets

	the number of times DCCP repeats sending a Response when the initial

	handshake does not progress from RESPOND to OPEN (i.e. when no Ack

	is received after the initial Request).  This value should be greater

	than 0, suggested is less than 10. Analogue of tcp_syn_retries.



retries1

	How often a DCCP Response is retransmitted until the listening DCCP

	side considers its connecting peer dead. Analogue of tcp_retries1.



retries2

	The number of times a general DCCP packet is retransmitted. This has

	importance for retransmitted acknowledgments and feature negotiation,

	data packets are never retransmitted. Analogue of tcp_retries2.



send_ndp = 1

	Whether or not to send NDP count options (sec. 7.7.2).



send_ackvec = 1

	Whether or not to send Ack Vector options (sec. 11.5).



ack_ratio = 2

	The default Ack Ratio (sec. 11.3) to use.



tx_ccid = 2

	Default CCID for the sender-receiver half-connection.



rx_ccid = 2

	Default CCID for the receiver-sender half-connection.



seq_window = 100

	The initial sequence window (sec. 7.5.2).
