[DCCP] ccid3: Larger initial windows

This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in
section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can
send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one.

The patch further
 * reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value
   (which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument

 * renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
   resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)

 * simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same
   type

Commiter note: renamed TFRC_t_mbi to TFRC_T_MBI, to follow Linux coding style.
