Some Congestion Control modules can provide per flow information,
but current way to get this information is to use netlink.

Like TCP_INFO, let's add TCP_CC_INFO so that applications can
issue a getsockopt() if they have a socket file descriptor,
instead of playing complex netlink games.

Sample usage would be :

  union tcp_cc_info info;
  socklen_t len = sizeof(info);

  if (getsockopt(fd, SOL_TCP, TCP_CC_INFO, &info, &len) == -1)
