The Current DCCP code resets the connection when it encounters a Confirm
for an NN feature with a value that doesn't match the most recent Change
sent. However, this causes unneeded resets if an NN option changes twice
within two RTTs. Further, this would break on the multiple Change
options for a feature in one packet example in RFC4340 6.6.1.
This patch modifies the code to simply ignore such a Confirm Option.
