[DCCP]: Allow default/fallback service code.

This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications
to supply service codes in each and every case.

If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will
be given 0. Otherwise, service codes can be set via socket options as before.

This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations
(including listening on multiple service codes).

DCCP_SOCKOPT_PACKET_SIZE is used for CCID3 to set default packet size for
calculations.
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. This is compulsory as per the
specification. If you don't set it you will get EPROTO.
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,
the socket will fall back to 0 (which means that no meaningful service code
is present). Connecting sockets set at most one service option; for
listening sockets, multiple service codes can be specified.
