[DCCP]: Handle timestamps on Request/Response exchange separately
In DCCP, timestamps can occur on packets anytime, CCID3 uses a timestamp(/echo) on the Request/Response exchange. This patch addresses the following situation: * timestamps are recorded on the listening socket; * Responses are sent from dccp_request_sockets; * suppose two connections reach the listening socket with very small time in between: * the first timestamp value gets overwritten by the second connection request. This is not really good, so this patch separates timestamps into * those which are received by the server during the initial handshake (on dccp_request_sock); * those which are received by the client or the client after connection establishment. As before, a timestamp of 0 is regarded as indicating that no (meaningful) timestamp has been received (in addition, a warning message is printed if hosts send 0-valued timestamps). The timestamp-echoing now works as follows: * when a timestamp is present on the initial Request, it is placed into dreq, due to the call to dccp_parse_options in dccp_v{4,6}_conn_request; * when a timestamp is present on the Ack leading from RESPOND => OPEN, it is copied over from the request_sock into the child cocket in dccp_create_openreq_child; * timestamps received on an (established) dccp_sock are treated as before. Since Elapsed Time is measured in hundredths of milliseconds (13.2), the new dccp_timestamp() function is used, as it is expected that the time between receiving the timestamp and sending the timestamp echo will be very small against the wrap-around time. As a byproduct, this allows smaller timestamping-time fields. Furthermore, inserting the Timestamp Echo option has been taken out of the block starting with '!dccp_packet_without_ack()', since Timestamp Echo can be carried on any packet (5.8 and 13.3).
