dccp: make implementation of Syn-RTT symmetric

This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing.

The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for
the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT
sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays
slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance.

This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto
the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample  when the (Data)Ack completing
the handshake arrives.

Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4.
