Documentation/tcp: Add TCP-AO documentation

It has Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RFC 5925 - I found it very
useful answering those before writing the actual code. It provides answers
to common questions that arise on a quick read of the RFC, as well as how
they were answered. There's also comparison to TCP-MD5 option,
evaluation of per-socket vs in-kernel-DB approaches and description of
uAPI provided.

Hopefully, it will be as useful for reviewing the code as it was for writing.
