[TCP]: Add TCP Westwood congestion control module.

This is the existing 2.6.12 Westwood code moved from tcp_input
to the new congestion framework. A lot of the inline functions
have been eliminated to try and make it clearer.

+	TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
+	protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
+	control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
+	congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
+	episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
+	slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
+	account the bandwidth used  at the time congestion is experienced.
+	TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
+	wired networks and throughput over wireless links.
