[TCP]: Add TCP Vegas congestion control module.

TCP Vegas code modified for the new TCP infrastructure.  
Vegas now uses microsecond resolution timestamps for 
better estimation of performance over higher speed links.

+        TCP Vegas is a sender-side only change to TCP that anticipates
+        the onset of congestion by estimating the bandwidth. TCP Vegas
+        adjusts the sending rate by modifying the congestion
+        window. TCP Vegas should provide less packet loss, but it is
+        not as aggressive as TCP Reno.
