The TX CCID needs the write_xmit_timer for delaying packet sends. Previously
this timer was only activated on active (connecting) sockets.
This patch initialises the write_xmit_timer in sync with the other timers, i.e.
the timer will be ready on any socket. This is used by applications with a
listening socket which start to stream after receiving an initiation by the
client. The write_xmit_timer is stopped when the application closes, as before.
Was tested to work and to remove the timer bug reported on dccp@vger.
Also moved timer initialisation into timer.c (static).

This removes 3 forward declarations by reordering 2 functions.
No code change at all.

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.

This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about
which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite
hard to extract from RFC 4340).
It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340:
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Type | Retransmit? | Remark |
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 |
| Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 |
| Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 |
| DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
| Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Reset | only in response to other packets |
| Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
* Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1)
* Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
* CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
* Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3)
I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that
for later.

Renaming it to dccp_send_reset and moving it from the ipv4 specific
code to the core dccp code.
This fixes some bugs in IPV6 where timers would send v4 resets, etc.

This also improves reqsk_queue_prune and renames it to
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune, as it deals with both inet_connection_sock
and inet_request_sock objects, not just with request_sock ones thus
belonging to inet_request_sock.

Development to this point was done on a subversion repository at:
http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dccp-2.6/
This repository will be kept at this site for the foreseable future,
so that interested parties can see the history of this code,
attributions, etc.
If I ever decide to take this offline I'll provide the full history at
some other suitable place.
