The patch accompanying bug 6194 introduced a few problems related to the proper
(conformance to specification) handling of the SCPS Capabilities and SCPS
Extended Capabilities option for TCP.

This patch corrects the following:

    1 - Restores the ordering of the reserved bits to that defined in the
        specification

    2 - Restores the minimum option length to 4 octets.

    3 - Restores the behavior of clearing the flow->scps_capable field 
        if both parties have not negotiated the use of SCPS capabilities
        during connection establishment.

    4 - Restores the labeling of the "Binding Space ID" - removing the
        "Community" tag as Binding fields may be assigned to communities
        of interest of vendors.  This is indeed a nit, but the reversion
        is more representative of intent.

Attached are:
    o A more detailed discussion of why these modifications are appropriate
      (as the comments in the original [pre-bug 6194] code were not sufficient.

    o Diffs for both the stable and unstable subversion code trees

    o The pcap file used for reporting bug 6194.  This serves to illustrate
      the flawed protocol implementation behavior that this patch corrects.
