[DCCP]: Provide function for RTT sampling

A recurring problem, in particular in the CCID code, is that RTT samples
from packets with timestamp echo and elapsed time options need to be taken.

This service is provided via a new function dccp_sample_rtt in this patch.
Furthermore, to protect against `insane' RTT samples, the sampled value
is bounded between 100 microseconds and 4 seconds - for which u32 is sufficient.
