dccp: Increase the scope of variable-length htonl/ntohl functions

This extends the scope of two available functions, encode|decode_value_var,
to work up to 6 (8) bytes, to match maximum requirements in the RFC.

These functions are going to be used both by general option processing and 
feature negotiation code, hence declarations have been put into feat.h.
