dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event Rate

This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in
the computation of the Loss Rate p:

 * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
 * 1/0        is mapped into 100%, the maximum;
 * to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this
   means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum
   resolution value of p is now returned instead;
 * a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.
