[DCCP] tfrc: Add protection against invalid parameters to TFRC routines

Browse source

1) For the forward X_calc lookup, it
    * protects effectively against RTT=0 (this case is possible), by
      returning the maximal lookup value instead of just setting it to 1
    * reformulates the array-bounds exceeded condition: this only happens
      if p is greater than 1E6 (due to the scaling)
    * the case of negative indices can now with certainty be excluded,
      since documentation shows that the formulas are within bounds
    * additional protection against p = 0 (would give divide-by-zero)

 2) For the reverse lookup, it warns against
    * protects against exceeding array bounds
    * now returns 0 if f(p) = 0, due to function definition
    * warns about minimal resolution error and returns the smallest table
      value instead of p=0 [this would mask congestion conditions]
