[PATCH 5/5]: Use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changes

[CCID2]: Use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changes

This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes,
as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2. 

This raises some problems for CCID2 since it can at the moment not cope grace-
fully with Ack Ratio of e.g. 2. A FIXME has thus been added which reverts to
the previous policy of bypassing the Ack Ratio sysctl.
