[DCCP] ccid3: Avoid congestion control on zero-sized data packets
This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet(). The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack) packets is in a way pathological. The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1 code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'. As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning "First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this message has been removed since it will always be printed.
