dccp: Query supported CCIDs

This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
and three accessor functions:
 - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
   made by the user;
 - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;   
 - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.

The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).

Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation 
will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

 DCCP_SOCKOPT_GET_CUR_MPS is read-only and retrieves the current maximum packet

 DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVER_TIMEWAIT enables the server (listening socket) to hold
 timewait state when closing the connection (RFC 4340, 8.3). The usual case is
 that the closing server sends a CloseReq, whereupon the client holds timewait
