[DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait state
This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.
Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.
The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.
