dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event Rate
This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in
the computation of the Loss Rate p:
* 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
* 1/0 is mapped into 100%, the maximum;
* to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this
means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum
resolution value of p is now returned instead;
* a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.
