dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()
This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.
Currently the convention is
* values < 0 mean error,
* a value == 0 means "send now", and
* a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds".
The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.
In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
corresponding to 65.535 seconds.
This is possible since in CCID-3 the maximum inter-packet gap is t_mbi = 64 sec.
