Subject: [PATCH 28/37] dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 3 (client side)

This integrates feature-activation in the client, with these details:

 1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set, request_sent
    _state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not
    intended - so changed to use the reset code set in dccp_parse_options();

 2. There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
    I have looked this up and found that:
    * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
    * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
    * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

 3. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
    so that the application is notified that an error occurs. This is achieved
    by a new label, which uses an error code of `Aborted' and which sets the
    socket state to CLOSED, as well as sk_err.

 4. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing
    again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has
    already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req).

Since this addresses congestion-control initialisation, a corresponding
FIXME has been removed.
