[TCP/DCCP]: Introduce net_xmit_eval
Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition. This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.
