[CCID2]: Remove redundant ack-counting variable

The code used two different variables to count Acks, one of them redundant.
This patch reduces the number of Ack counters to one.

The type of the Ack counter has also been changed to u32 (twice the range of int);
and the variable has been renamed into `packets_acked' - for consistency with
RFC 3465 (and similarly named variables are used by TCP and SCTP).

Lastly, a slightly less aggressive `maxincr' increment is used (for even Ack Ratios,
maxincr was Ack Ratio/2 + 1 instead of Ack Ratio/2).
