Subject: [PATCH 3/7] dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 3 (client side)

This integrates feature-activation in the client:

 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 - changed to use the reset code supplied by dccp_parse_options().

 2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
    so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved
    by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted',
    setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err.

 3. 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.
