[TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module.

H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.

H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.

The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.

The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

H-TCP is a send-side only modifications of the TCP Reno
protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP
congestion control for high speed network links. It uses a
modeswitch to change the alpha and beta parameters of TCP Reno
based on network conditions and in a way so as to be fair with
other Reno and H-TCP flows.
