Currently if the sender is sending small messages, it can cause a receiver
to run out of receive buffer space even when the advertised receive window
is still open and results in packet drops and retransmissions. Including
a overhead while updating the sender's view of peer receive window will
reduce the chances of receive buffer space overshooting the receive window.

This patch adds more statistics info under /proc/net/sctp/snmp
that should be useful for debugging. The additional events that
are counted now include timer expirations, retransmits, packet
and data chunk discards.
The Data chunk discards include all the cases where a data chunk
is discarded including high tsn, bad stream, dup tsn and the most
useful one(out of receive buffer/rwnd).
Also moved the SCTP MIB data structures from the generic include
directories to include/sctp/sctp.h.

SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number
of missing reports for the TSN. However the Implementers Guide
specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once.
Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the
number of missing reports to 3 as per the latest IG(similar to TCP).

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!
