[DCCP]: Add socket option to query the current MPS
This enables applications to query the current value of the Maximum
Packet Size via a socket option, suggested as a SHOULD in (RFC 4340,
p. 102).
This socket option is useful to avoid the annoying bail-out via
`-EMSGSIZE'. In particular, as fragmentation is not currently
supported (and its use is partly discouraged in RFC 4340).
With this option, it is possible to size buffers accordingly, e.g.
int buflen = dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd);
/* or */
if (msgsize > dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd))
die("message is too large for this path");
