tcp: make CUBIC the default congestion control mechanism.

This changes the default TCP Congestion Control (CC) to CUBIC.
For small, transactional exchanges (e.g. web objects <15kB), this
will not have a material effect. However, for long duration data
transfers, CUBIC allocates a slightly higher fraction of the
available bandwidth, when competing against NewReno CC.

hystart++

tcp: Congestion control cleanup.

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!

This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.

This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.

Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

Add support for the experimental Internet-Draft "TCP Alternative Backoff with
ECN (ABE)" proposal to the New Reno congestion control algorithm module.
ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to
ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response.

More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn

The implementation introduces four new sysctls:

- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to
enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections.

- net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta_ecn set the
multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion
signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e.
beta=50 and beta_ecn=80.

- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to
non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing
loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more
conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of
experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore.

The values of beta and beta_ecn can also be set per-connection by way of the
TCP_CCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CC_NEWRENO_BETA or
CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.

DCTCP (Data Center TCP) implementation.

DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and minimise
latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit
Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable hardware as a
congestion signal.

Highlights:
Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module.
ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently from
RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.
