[DCCP]: Provide fallback RTT value when none is available This implements RFC 4340, section 3.4: "Each DCCP implementation thus defines a default round-trip time for use when no estimate is available. This parameter should default to not less than 0.2 seconds [...]." In addition, the upper bound of 4 seconds for an RTT sample has now been reduced, to 3 seconds: to match the initial TCP RTO value as specified in [RFC 1122, 4.2.3.1].

I personally think this patch should include the changes where this occurs in the code but I know these are in separate patches.
