Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v7 3/7 RFC] TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size,
 socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS

Define sysctl (tcp_cookie_size) to turn on and off the cookie option
default globally, instead of a compiled configuration option.

Define per socket option (TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS) for setting constant
data values, retrieving variable cookie values, and other facilities.

Move inline tcp_clear_options() unchanged from net/tcp.h to linux/tcp.h,
near its corresponding struct tcp_options_received (prior to changes).

This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

Requires:
   net: TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, TCP_MSS_DESIRED
