Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.
The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.
Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

It doesn't seem to make much sense to let an "If unsure, say N." option
default to y.

Since it is tristate when we offer it as a choice, we should
definte it also as tristate when forcing it as the default.
Otherwise kconfig warns.

Create TCP_CONG_ADVANCED option, akin to IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER, which
when disabled will bypass all of the congestion control Kconfig
options and leave the user with a safe default.
That safe default is currently BIC-TCP with new Reno as a fallback.

Most users need not be concerned with a complex choice of what
FIB lookup algorithm to use. So give them the safe default of
IP_FIB_HASH if IP_ADVANCED_ROUTING is disabled.

This patch implements Tom Kelly's Scalable TCP congestion control algorithm
for the modular framework.
The algorithm has some nice scaling properties, and has been used a fair bit
in research, though is known to have significant fairness issues, so it's not
really suitable for general purpose use.

H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.
H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.
The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.
The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.
- "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
