Subject: [PATCH 4/4] dccp ccid-3: Length of loss intervals

This corrects an error in the computation of the open loss interval I_0:
  * the interval length is (highest_seqno - start_seqno) + 1
  * and not (highest_seqno - start_seqno).

This condition was not fully clear in RFC 3448, but reflects the current
revision state of rfc3448bis and is also consistent with RFC 4340, 6.1.1.

Further changes:
----------------
 * variable renamed due to line length constraints;
 * explicit typecast to `s64' to avoid implicit signed/unsigned casting.
