[PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module

From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.
