fq_codel: implement L4S style ce_threshold_ect1 marking



Add TCA_FQ_CODEL_CE_THRESHOLD_ECT1 boolean option to select Low Latency,
Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) style marking, along with ce_threshold.

If enabled, only packets with ECT(1) can be transformed to CE
if their sojourn time is above the ce_threshold.

Note that this new option does not change rules for codel law.
In particular, if TCA_FQ_CODEL_ECN is left enabled (this is
the default when fq_codel qdisc is created), ECT(0) packets can
still get CE if codel law (as governed by limit/target) decides so.

Section 4.3.b of current draft [1] states:

b.  A scheduler with per-flow queues such as FQ-CoDel or FQ-PIE can
    be used for L4S.  For instance within each queue of an FQ-CoDel
    system, as well as a CoDel AQM, there is typically also ECN
    marking at an immediate (unsmoothed) shallow threshold to support
    use in data centres (see Sec.5.2.7 of [RFC8290]).  This can be
    modified so that the shallow threshold is solely applied to
    ECT(1) packets.  Then if there is a flow of non-ECN or ECT(0)
    packets in the per-flow-queue, the Classic AQM (e.g.  CoDel) is
    applied; while if there is a flow of ECT(1) packets in the queue,
    the shallower (typically sub-millisecond) threshold is applied.
