bd79708dbf In the TCP stack, the hhook(9) framework provides hooks for kernel modules
to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.

Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.

This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.

Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

050570efa7 Import the ERTT (Enhanced Round Trip Time) Khelp module. ERTT uses the
Khelp/Hhook KPIs to hook into the TCP stack and maintain a per-connection, low
noise estimate of the instantaneous RTT. ERTT's implementation is robust even in
the face of delayed acknowledgements and/or TSO being in use for a connection.

A high quality, low noise RTT estimate is a requirement for applications such as
delay-based congestion control, for which we will be importing some algorithm
implementations shortly.
