When performing active close, RFC 4340, 8.3. requires to retransmit the
Close/CloseReq with a backoff-retransmit timer starting at intially 2 RTTs.

This patch shifts the existing code for active-close retransmit timer
into output.c, so that the retransmit timer is started when the first
Close/CloseReq is sent. Previously, the timer was started when, after
releasing the socket in dccp_close(), the actively-closing side had not yet
reached the CLOSED/TIMEWAIT state.

The patch further reduces the initial timeout from 3 seconds to the required
2 RTTs, where - in absence of a known RTT - the fallback value specified in
RFC 4340, 3.4 is used.
