Function:
---------
 This patch acquires the RTT of the initial SYN (Request/Response) exchange
 and stores it in an unused field of dccp_sock.

Purpose:
--------
 The purpose is primarily to provide an initial RTT sample for CCIDs. CCID 3
 in particular benefits from such a sample; using the RTT of the SYN exchange
 is recommended in an erratum to RFC 4342, and in draft-ietf-dccp-rfc3448bis.

Implementation note:
--------------------
 Double use is made of the `icsk_ack.lrcvtime' field by #defining an alias for 
it.
 This is justified (1) by exploiting that Acks are only meaningful when the 
client
 has reached the OPEN state and the alias is used before reaching this state and
 (2) since there is currently no other use for this field in the entire DCCP 
code.
 (NB: Since the RTT sample is currently used only by CCID 3, it could be 
wrapped in
  Kconfig #ifdef options, but this clutters code and so has not been done.)
