: Add test function for data packets

[DCCP]: Add test function for data packets

This adds a function which returns `true' when an skb
contains one of the packet
types specified in [RFC 4340, 7.7] as `data packet'. 

NB - Resisted the temptation to define 
     int dccp_non_data_packet(skb) { return
!dccp_data_packet(skb); },
     since maybe someone will define new packet types.

Normally

for them.
Yes it is used - the CCID3 receiver tests repeatedly for
data packets.
It may be useful in general too since it actually implements
exactly
what RFC 4340 calls data packets.
