TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's

Browse Source 
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.

This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
several related concepts to use the same extension option.

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

Requires:
   TCPCT part 1a: add request_values parameter for sending SYNACK
   TCPCT part 1b: generate Responder Cookie secret
   TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS
