[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).
