tcp: add NV congestion control

TCP-NV (New Vegas) is a major update to TCP-Vegas.
An earlier version of NV was presented at 2010's LPC.
It is a delayed based congestion avoidance for the
data center. This version has been tested within a
10G rack where the HW RTTs are 20-50us and with
1 to 400 flows.

A description of TCP-NV, including implementation
details as well as experimental results, can be found at:

TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
instead of linearly.
Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.
