Subject: [PATCH 07/14] [ACKVEC]: Unnecessary to parse Ack Vectors when clearing HC-receiver state

This removes code clearing Ack Vector state when it is acknowledged via an
Ack Vector by the peer. That code is redundant, since
 * the receiver always puts the full acknowledgment window (groups 2,3 in 11.4.2)
   into the Ack Vectors it sends; hence the HC-receiver is only interested in the
   highest state that the HC-sender received;
 * this means that the acknowledgment number on the (Data)Ack from the HC-sender
   is sufficient; and work done in parsing earlier state is not necessary, since
   the later state subsumes the  earlier one (see also RFC 4340, A.4).

Other (minor) changes:
 * uses  the suggestion made in the code comment, to traverse from oldest record
   to youngest - allowing faster hits when the list is large;

 * removed the unused argument variable `sk' from check_rcv_ackno;

 * renamed check_rcv_ackno => clear_state, since then it is clearer
   what is done by the function (also same name as in A.3 of RFC 4340);

 * the variable `ackno' now becomes unused in options.c, and therefore
   is now used for other (space-saving) purposes.
