[TCP] cubic: precompute constants

Revised version of patch to pre-compute values for TCP cubic.
  * d32,d64 replaced with descriptive names
  * cube_factor replaces
	 srtt[scaled by count] / HZ * ((1 << (10+2*BICTCP_HZ)) / bic_scale)
  * beta_scale replaces
	8*(BICTCP_BETA_SCALE+beta)/3/(BICTCP_BETA_SCALE-beta);
