[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
* resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
* supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
* simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations
Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
* cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
* allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
* avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off
The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html
The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.
