kernel: add kmod-tcp-bbr

This adds support for BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT) TCP
congestion control. Applications (e.g. webservers, VPN client/server)
which initiate connections from router side can benefit from this.

This provide an easier way for users to use BBR by selecting /
installing kmod-tcp-bbr instead of altering kernel config and
compiling firmware by themselves.

Kernel module for BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT) TCP congestion
control. It requires the fq ("Fair Queue") pacing packet scheduler.
For kernel 4.13+, TCP internal pacing is implemented as fallback.
