Allocate more sequence state on demand. Each time a packet is sent
out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept. This list of records
grows proportionally to cwnd. Previously, the length of this list was
hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of
128). Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may
grow as it wishes. The exceptional case of when memory is not
available is not handled gracefully. Perhaps, cwnd should be capped
at that point.

Initialize the slow-start threshold to infinity. This way, upon connection
initiation, slow-start will be exited only upon a packet loss. This patch will
allow connections to quickly gain speed.

1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit}
does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it.
2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid
with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx
private state.
3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct
dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer.
Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as
no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents
other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.

Original work by Andrea Bittau, Arnaldo Melo cleaned up and fixed several
issues on the merge process.
For now CCID2 was turned the default for all SOCK_DCCP connections, but this
will be remedied soon with the merge of the feature negotiation code.
