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 shifts further sysctls into feat.h. No change in
functionality - shifting code only.

When using the default sequence window size (100) I got the following in

I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.
Below patch fixes this.
I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.
As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.
Compile tested only for IPv6 but not particularly complex change.

This is in preparation for having a dccp_minisock embedded into
dccp_request_sock so that feature negotiation can be done prior to
creating the full blown dccp_sock.
