dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsing

This patch ...
 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is 
    necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state
    which options may (not) appear on what packet type.
 
 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in
    RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets")
    and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets").

 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This
    is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines
    are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

Also added documentation and made argument naming scheme consistent.
