It's been allowed for about two years now [0], but you don't need it
anyways. Trying out new congestion control algorithms is not exactly a
new fad, so it has been possible to set the congestion control algorithm
via setsockopt since, apparently, Linux 2.6.13 [1], released a good 15
years ago. You'd probably need to patch tor to do that effectively, but
if you're going to all this trouble anyways, patching one program
shouldn't really be a barrier.
