dccp ccid-3: Update the computation of X_recv

This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for
RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1
RTT is used to compute X_recv.  The change is wrapped into a new function
ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv().

Further changes:
----------------
 * feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per
   rfc3448bis-06, 6.2;
 * take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid
   taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy);
 * clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li().
