[DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait state

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.

Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.

The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVER_TIMEWAIT enables the server (listening socket) to hold
+timewait state when closing the connection (RFC 4340, 8.3). The usual case is
+that the closing server sends a CloseReq, whereupon the client holds timewait
+state. When this boolean socket option is on, the server sends a Close instead
+and will enter TIMEWAIT. This option must be set after accept() returns.

 DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV and DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV are used for setting the
 partial checksum coverage (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2). The default is that checksums
 always cover the entire packet and that only fully covered application data is
