Lawrence Stewart 370efe5ac8 Add support for the experimental Internet-Draft "TCP Alternative Backoff with
ECN (ABE)" proposal to the New Reno congestion control algorithm module.
ABE reduces the amount of congestion window reduction in response to
ECN-signalled congestion relative to the loss-inferred congestion response.

More details about ABE can be found in the Internet-Draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn

The implementation introduces four new sysctls:

- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to non-zero to
  enable ABE for ECN-enabled TCP connections.

- net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta and net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno.beta_ecn set the
  multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
  the congestion window in response to a loss-based or ECN-based congestion
  signal respectively. They default to the values specified in the draft i.e.
  beta=50 and beta_ecn=80.

- net.inet.tcp.cc.abe_frlossreduce defaults to 0 (disabled) and can be set to
  non-zero to enable the use of standard beta (50% by default) when repairing
  loss during an ECN-signalled congestion recovery episode. It enables a more
  conservative congestion response and is provided for the purposes of
  experimentation as a result of some discussion at IETF 100 in Singapore.

The values of beta and beta_ecn can also be set per-connection by way of the
TCP_CCALGOOPT TCP-level socket option and the new CC_NEWRENO_BETA or
CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN CC algo sub-options.
