dccp ccid-2: Implementation of circular Ack Vector buffer with overflow handling

This completes the implementation of a circular buffer for Ack Vectors, by
extending the current (linear array-based) implementation.  The changes are:

 (a) An `overflow' flag to deal with the case of overflow. As before, dynamic
     growth of the buffer will not be supported; but code will be added to deal
     robustly with overflowing Ack Vector buffers.

 (b) A `tail_seqno' field. When naively implementing the algorithm of Appendix A
     in RFC 4340, problems arise whenever subsequent Ack Vector records overlap,
     which can bring the entire run length calculation completely out of synch.
     (This is documented on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/\
                                             ack_vectors/tracking_tail_ackno/ .)
 (c) The buffer length is now computed dynamically (i.e. current fill level),
     as the span between head to tail.

As a result, dccp_ackvec_pending() is now simpler - the #ifdef is no longer
necessary since buf_empty is always true when IP_DCCP_ACKVEC is not configured.
