[DCCP] ccid3: Larger initial windows
This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in
section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can
send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one.
The patch further
* reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value
(which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument
* renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)
* simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same
type
Commiter note: renamed TFRC_t_mbi to TFRC_T_MBI, to follow Linux coding style.
