net/rds: Encode cp_index in TCP source port

Upon "sendmsg", RDS/TCP selects a backend connection based
on a hash calculated from the source-port ("RDS_MPATH_HASH").

However, "rds_tcp_accept_one" accepts connections
in the order they arrive, which is non-deterministic.

Therefore the mapping of the sender's "cp->cp_index"
to that of the receiver changes if the backend
connections are dropped and reconnected.

However, connection state that's preserved across reconnects
(e.g. "cp_next_rx_seq") relies on that sender<->receiver
mapping to never change.

So we make sure that client and server of the TCP connection
have the exact same "cp->cp_index" across reconnects by
encoding "cp->cp_index" in the lower three bits of the
client's TCP source port.

A new extension "RDS_EXTHDR_SPORT_IDX" is introduced,
that allows the server to tell the difference between
clients that do the "cp->cp_index" encoding, and
legacy clients that pick source ports randomly.
