ADD_ADDR: more reactive ADD_ADDR retransmit #576

Description

Currently, the ADD_ADDR will be retransmitted after a fixed timeout (sysctl net.mptcp.add_addr_timeout). This can be too slow (or too quick).

Solution

Why not using a timeout based on the sRTT (*2 to start?), with an exponential backoff, which would be more reactive.

Considered alternatives

Maybe also having a max timeout

Additional context

We might need to deprecate the sysctl, or use it as a max?
