dccp ccid-3: Fix error in loss detection

The TFRC loss detection code used the wrong loss condition (RFC 4340, 7.7.1):
 * the difference between sequence numbers s1 and s2 instead of 
 * the number of packets missing between s1 and s2 (one less than the distance).

Since this condition appears in many places of the code, it has been put into a
separate function, dccp_loss_free().

Further changes:
----------------
 * tidied up incorrect typing (it was using `int' for u64/s64 types);
 * optimised conditional statements for common case of non-reordered packets;
 * rewrote comments/documentation to match the changes.
