dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interface

This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
 1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).

The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).

The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
 * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
 * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full),
 * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
 * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
 * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
 * that CCID schedules the tasklet,
 * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
 * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
 * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).

Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
            reduces to a wrapper around the same code.
