dccp ccid-3: Always perform receiver RTT sampling

This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the
Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the
RTT (or use a sender RTT).

Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss.

The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less
than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch).

Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation
is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies
the CCID-3 code.
