The current MPTCP-level RTT estimator has several issues. On high speed
links, the MPTCP-level receive buffer auto-tuning happens with a
frequency well above the TCP-level's one. That in turn can cause
excessive/unneeded receive buffer increase.
On such links, the initial rtt_us value is considerably higher than the
actual delay, and the current mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() updates
msk->rcvq_space.rtt_us with a period equal to the such field previous
value. If the initial rtt_us is 40ms, its first update will happen after
40ms, even if the subflows see actual RTT orders of magnitude lower.
Additionally:
- setting the msk RTT to the maximum among all the subflows RTTs makes
DRS constantly overshooting the rcvbuf size when a subflow has
considerable higher latency than the other(s).
- during unidirectional bulk transfers with multiple active subflows,
the TCP-level RTT estimator occasionally sees considerably higher
value than the real link delay, i.e. when the packet scheduler reacts
to an incoming ACK on given subflow pushing data on a different
subflow.
- currently inactive but still open subflows (i.e. switched to backup
mode) are always considered when computing the msk-level RTT.
Address the all the issues above with a more accurate RTT estimation
strategy: the MPTCP-level RTT is set to the minimum of all the subflows
actually feeding data into the MPTCP receive buffer, using a small
sliding window.
While at it, also use EWMA to compute the msk-level scaling_ratio, to
that MPTCP can avoid traversing the subflow list is
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust().
Use some care to avoid updating msk and ssk level fields too often.

Similar to tcp, provide a new tracepoint to better understand
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() behavior, which presents many artifacts.
Note that the used format string is so long that I preferred
wrap it, contrary to guidance for quoted strings.

The 'mptcp_subflow_context' structure has two items related to the
backup flags:
- 'backup': the subflow has been marked as backup by the other peer
- 'request_bkup': the backup flag has been set by the host
Before this patch, the scheduler was only looking at the 'backup' flag.
That can make sense in some cases, but it looks like that's not what we
wanted for the general use, because either the path-manager was setting
both of them when sending an MP_PRIO, or the receiver was duplicating
the 'backup' flag in the subflow request.
Note that the use of these two flags in the path-manager are going to be
fixed in the next commits, but this change here is needed not to modify
the behaviour.
