dccp: Increase the scope of variable-length htonl/ntohl functions

Browse Source 
This extends the scope of two available functions,
encode|decode_value_var, to work up to 6 (8) bytes, to match maximum
requirements in the RFC.

These functions are going to be used both by general option processing
and feature negotiation code, hence declarations have been put into
feat.h.
