[TCP]: Add two new spurious RTO responses to FRTO 

New sysctl tcp_frto_response is added to select amongst these
responses:
	- Rate halving based; reuses CA_CWR state (default)
	- Very conservative; used to be the only one available (=1)
	- Undo cwr; undoes ssthresh and cwnd reductions (=2)

The response with rate halving requires a new parameter to
tcp_enter_cwr because FRTO has already reduced ssthresh and
doing a second reduction there has to be prevented. In addition,
to keep things nice on 80 cols screen, a local variable was
added.
