[TFRC]: New rx history code

Credit here goes to Gerrit Renker, that provided the initial implementation for
this new codebase.

I modified it just to try to make it closer to the existing API, renaming some
functions, add namespacing and fix one bug where the tfrc_rx_hist_alloc was not
freeing the allocated ring entries on the error path.

Original changeset comment from Gerrit:
      -----------
This provides a new, self-contained and generic RX history service for TFRC
based protocols.

Details:
 * new data structure, initialisation and cleanup routines;
 * allocation of dccp_rx_hist entries local to packet_history.c,
   as a service exported by the dccp_tfrc_lib module.
 * interface to automatically track highest-received seqno;
 * receiver-based RTT estimation (needed for instance by RFC 3448, 6.3.1);
 * a generic function to test for `data packets' as per  RFC 4340, sec. 7.7.
