Bug Description

The ROHC library implements an algorithm to reduce the transmission of Negative ACKs (NACKs) from the decompressor to the decompressor. The objective is to avoid transmitting a NACK for every CRC mismatch or any other kind failure.

However, as stated in question #181462, the names of variables (curval/errval/okval/maxval) were badly chosen and the overall algorithm is not documented at all. Better fix this situation.

As stated by Arne in question #187649, the current algorithm does not conform to RFC 3095.

Replace user_interactions() of the decompression API by something easier to use. Then deprecate the user_interactions() function.
