[TCP]: Add Scalable TCP congestion control module.

This patch implements Tom Kelly's Scalable TCP congestion control algorithm 
for the modular framework.

The algorithm has some nice scaling properties, and has been used a fair bit 
in research, though is known to have significant fairness issues, so it's not 
really suitable for general purpose use.
