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.

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.
