William Allen Simpson 435cf559f0 TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's
Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.

This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old)
patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original
author (Adam Langley):

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586

The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
several related concepts to use the same extension option.

    "Re: what a new TCP header might look like", May 12, 1998.
    ftp://ftp.isi.edu/end2end/end2end-interest-1998.mail

These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

Requires:
   TCPCT part 1a: add request_values parameter for sending SYNACK
   TCPCT part 1b: generate Responder Cookie secret
   TCPCT part 1c: sysctl_tcp_cookie_size, socket option TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS
