Gerrit Renker 55ebe3ab2d dccp: Leave headroom for options when calculating the MPS
The Maximum Packet Size (MPS) is of interest for applications which want
to transfer data, so it is only relevant to the data transfer phase of a
connection (unless one wants to send data on the DCCP-Request, but that is
not considered here).

The strategy chosen to deal with this requirement is to leave room for only 
such options that may appear on data packets.

A special consideration applies to Ack Vectors: this is purely guesswork,
since these can have any length between 3 and 1020 bytes. The strategy
chosen here is to subtract a configurable minimum, the value of 16 bytes
(2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack Vector cells) has been found by 
experimentatation. If people experience this as too much or too little,
this could later be turned into a Kconfig option.	

There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data
packets, hence it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field.
