tcp cc: remove non-working sctp support

As suggested by lstewart, remove the non-working SCTP support in the
TCP congestion control modules. SCTP has a similar functionality
(although not using kernel loadable modules), on which the TCP stuff
was built on, but the integration was never done.
No functional change intended.

sys: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.

This commit marks the first formal contribution of the "Five New TCP Congestion
Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details

- Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control
algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection
state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which
allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The
TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to
programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively
from within an application at runtime.

- Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as
possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should
allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP)
in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set
of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport
protocols.

- Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack
and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and
recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based
congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss
and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the
stack.

- Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code
and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering
from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode.

- Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and
massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will
remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of
additional different algorithms will become available in the near future.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code
that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required.
