dccp: Limit feature negotiation to connection setup phase
This patch starts the new implementation of feature negotiation:
1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any
time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex,
as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation.
2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the
feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now
mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission.
Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\
implementation_notes.html
This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full
feature negotiation support for connection setup.
