Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 5cea0ddce5 [DCCP]: Introduce dccp_tfrc_lib module with net/dccp/ccids/lib/*.c
I'll now take a look at the other proposed TFRC DCCP CCIDs to find
more code that is now in ccid3.c and move to this module, the loss
event rate, calc_X, etc most probably will be moved there.

The main goal of these changes is to pave the way for the
implementation of more TFRC based DCCP CCIDs and to shrink ccid3.c,
reducing its complexity and helping in getting it rock solid.

CCID 3 denotes TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), an equation-based
rate-controlled congestion control mechanism. TFRC is designed to
be reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP-like flows,
where a flow is "reasonably fair" if its sending rate is generally
within a factor of two of the sending rate of a TCP flow under the
same conditions. However, TFRC has a much lower variation of
throughput over time compared with TCP, which makes CCID 3 more
suitable than CCID 2 for applications such streaming media where a
relatively smooth sending rate is of importance.
CCID 3 is further described in [CCID 3 PROFILE]. The TFRC
congestion control algorithms were initially described in RFC 3448.
