codel: add ce_threshold attribute

For DCTCP or similar ECN based deployments on fabrics with shallow
buffers, hosts are responsible for a good part of the buffering.

This patch adds an optional ce_threshold to codel & fq_codel qdiscs,
so that DCTCP can have feedback from queuing in the host.

A DCTCP enabled egress port simply have a queue occupancy threshold
above which ECT packets get CE mark.

In codel language this translates to a sojourn time, so that one doesn't
have to worry about bytes or bandwidth but delays.

This makes the host an active participant in the health of the whole
network.

This also helps experimenting DCTCP in a setup without DCTCP compliant
fabric.

On following example, ce_threshold is set to 1ms, and we can see from
'ldelay xxx us' that TCP is not trying to go around the 5ms codel
target.

Queue has more capacity to absorb inelastic bursts (say from UDP
traffic), as queues are maintained to an optimal level.
