Use autoconf/automake to configure and make ppp

This change brings in autoconf/automake scripts to configure the ppp project. Current change doesn't eliminate the previous build system, but the new script autogen.sh will overwrite configure, and generate the basic Makefile.in and Makefile files.

Features can now be enabled by command line:

  * Microsoft Extensions,
    - MSCHAP
    - MPPE
    - MS LAN Manager support
  * IPXCP protocol
  * CBCP protocol
  * PAM support
  * EAP-TLS support
  * EAP-SRP support
  * Max session lifetime by byte count
  * Plugins
  * Packet activity filter support
  * Multilink
  * IPv6 support

Control linkage with
  * OpenSSL (-lssl -lcrypto)
  * systemd (-lsystemd)
  * libatm (-latm)
  * libsrp (-lsrp)
  * pam (-lpam)

Also, the configure script is made sensitive to features of OpenSSL. Like the presence or absence of DES, SHA, MD4 and MD5 crypto support. In the cases where either of these are missing, the support will be directly compiled into pppd and plugins.

In addition, package maintainers can now control the installation paths with standard --prefix=, or --localstatedir=, or --sysconfdir= to configure. On top of that, they can now control the following directories:
  * runtime directory w/--with-runtime-dir
  * logfile directory w/--with-logfile-dir
  * plugin directory w/--with-plugin-dir

In the case where automake isn't the right solution, namely: SunOS kernel module build, the original Makefile infrastructure is preserved and reused.

Care was taken to only cosmetically touchup the source files in this change. This means:
  * Insert HAVE_CONFIG_H and include config.h in all .c files.
  * Change HAS_SHADOW to HAVE_SHADOW_H
  * Change HAVE_LOGWTMP to HAVE_UTMP_H
  * Introduce HAVE_CRYPT_H into the source code where appropriate
  * Added ifdef MPPE where appropriate
  * USE_SRP required a few changes as it didn't compile
  * Touchup some compile warning in pppstats directory on SunOS

Introduced a new pppdconf.h file that exports the appropriate defines to a module that wants to provide a module that pppd can dynamically load. This will define/undef features like MPPE, CHAPMS such that the project doesn't have to guess what features pppd is compiled with.

+What's new in ppp-2.4.9.
+************************
+
+* Support for new EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) methods:
+  - Support for EAP-TLS, from Jan Just Keijser and others
+  - Support for EAP-MSCHAPv2, from Eivind Næss, Thomas Omerzu, Tijs
+    Van Buggenhout and others
+
+* New pppd options:
+  - chap-timeout
+  - chapms-strip-domain
+  - replacedefaultroute
+  - noreplacedefaultroute
+  - ipv6cp-accept-remote
+  - lcp-echo-adaptive
+  - ip-up-script
+  - ip-down-script
+  - ca
+  - capath
+  - cert
+  - key
+  - crl-dir
+  - crl
+  - max-tls-version
+  - need-peer-eap
+
+* Fixes for CVE-2020-8597 and CVE-2015-3310.
+
+* libpcap is now required when compiling on Linux (previously, if
+  libpcap was not present, pppd would be compiled without packet
+  filtering support).
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin has been renamed to pppoe, to distinguish it
+  from the upstream rp-pppoe code.  Its options have changed names,
+  but the old names are kept as aliases.
+
+* The configure script now supports cross-compilation.
+
+* Many bug fixes and cleanups.
+  
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.8.
+**************************
+
+* New pppd options have been added:
+  - ifname, to set the name for the PPP interface device
+  - defaultroute-metric, to set the metric for the default route
+  - defaultroute6, to add an IPv6 default route (with nodefaultroute6
+    to prevent adding an IPv6 default route)
+  - up_sdnotify, to have pppd notify systemd when the link is up.
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin has new options:
+  - host-uniq, to set the Host-Uniq value to send
+  - pppoe-padi-timeout, to set the timeout for discovery packets
+  - pppoe-padi-attempts, to set the number of discovery attempts.
+
+* Added the CLASS attribute in radius packets.
+
+* Sundry bug fixes.
+
+* Fixed warnings and issues found by static analysis.
+
+* Added Submitting-patches.md.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.7.
+**************************
+
+* Fixed a potential security issue in parsing option files (CVE-2014-3158).
+
+* There is a new "stop-bits" option, which takes an argument of 1 or 2,
+  indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports.
+
+* Various bug fixes.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.6.
+**************************
+
+* Man page updates.
+
+* Several bug fixes.
+
+* Options files can now set and unset environment variables for
+  scripts.
+
+* The timeout for chat scripts can now be taken from an environment
+  variable.
+
+* There is a new option, master_detach, which allows pppd to detach
+  from the controlling terminal when it is the multilink bundle master
+  but its own link has terminated, even if the nodetach option has
+  been given.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.5.
+**************************
+
+* Under Linux, pppd can now operate in a mode where it doesn't request
+  the peer's IP address, as some peers refuse to supply an IP address.
+  Since Linux supports device routes as well as gateway routes, it's
+  possible to have no remote IP address assigned to the ppp interface
+  and still route traffic over it.
+
+* Pppd now works better with 3G modems that do strange things such as
+  sending IPCP Configure-Naks with the same values over and over again.
+
+* The PPP over L2TP plugin is included, which works with the pppol2tp
+  PPP channel code in the Linux kernel.  This allows pppd to be used
+  to set up tunnels using the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol.
+
+* A new 'enable-session' option has been added, which enables session
+  accounting via PAM or wtwp/wtmpx, as appropriate.  See the pppd man
+  page for details.
+
+* Several bugs have been fixed.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.4.
+**************************
+
+* Pppd will now run /etc/ppp/ip-pre-up, if it exists, after creating
+  the ppp interface and configuring its IP addresses but before
+  bringing it up.  This can be used, for example, for adding firewall
+  rules for the interface.
+
+* Lots of bugs fixed, particularly in the area of demand-dialled and
+  persistent connections.
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin now accepts any interface name (that isn't an
+  existing pppd option name) without putting "nic-" on the front of
+  it, not just eth*, nas*, tap* and br*.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.3.
+**************************
+
+* The configure script now accepts --prefix and --sysconfdir options.
+  These default to /usr/local and /etc.  If you want pppd put in
+  /usr/sbin as before, use ./configure --prefix=/usr.
+
+* Doing `make install' no longer puts example configuration files in
+  /etc/ppp.  Use `make install-etcppp' if you want that.
+
+* The code has been updated to work with version 0.8.3 of libpcap.
+  Unfortunately the libpcap maintainers removed support for the
+  "inbound" and "outbound" keywords on PPP links, meaning that if you
+  link pppd with libpcap-0.8.3, you can't use those keywords in the
+  active-filter and pass-filter expressions.  The support has been
+  reinstated in the CVS version and should be in future libpcap
+  releases.  If you need the in/outbound keywords, use a later release
+  than 0.8.3, or get the CVS version from http://www.tcpdump.org.
+
+* There is a new option, child-timeout, which sets the length of time
+  that pppd will wait for child processes (such as the command
+  specified with the pty option) to exit before exiting itself.  It
+  defaults to 5 seconds.  After the timeout, pppd will send a SIGTERM
+  to any remaining child processes and exit.  A value of 0 means no
+  timeout.
+
+* Various bugs have been fixed, including some CBCP packet parsing
+  bugs that could lead to the peer being able to crash pppd if CBCP
+  support is enabled.
+
+* Various fixes and enhancements to the radius and rp-pppoe plugins
+  have been added.
+
+* There is a new winbind plugin, from Andrew Bartlet of the Samba
+  team, which provides the ability to authenticate the peer against an
+  NT domain controller using MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPV2.
+
+* There is a new pppoatm plugin, by various authors, sent in by David
+  Woodhouse.
+
+* The multilink code has been substantially reworked.  The first pppd
+  for a bundle still controls the ppp interface, but it doesn't exit
+  until all the links in the bundle have terminated.  If the first
+  pppd is signalled to exit, it signals all the other pppds
+  controlling links in the bundle.
+
+* The TDB code has been updated to the latest version.  This should
+  eliminate the problem that some people have seen where the database
+  file (/var/run/pppd.tdb) keeps on growing.  Unfortunately, however,
+  the new code uses an incompatible database format.  For this reason,
+  pppd now uses /var/run/pppd2.tdb as the database filename.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.2.
+**************************
+
+* The CHAP code has been rewritten.  Pppd now has support for MS-CHAP
+  V1 and V2 authentication, both as server and client.  The new CHAP
+  code is cleaner than the old code and avoids some copyright problems
+  that existed in the old code.
+
+* MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) support has been added,
+  although the current implementation shouldn't be considered
+  completely secure.  (There is no assurance that the current code
+  won't ever transmit an unencrypted packet.)
+
+* James Carlson's implementation of the Extensible Authentication
+  Protocol (EAP) has been added.
+
+* Support for the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP) has been added.
+
+* Some new plug-ins have been included:
+  - A plug-in for kernel-mode PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)
+  - A plug-in for supplying the PAP password over a pipe from another
+    process
+  - A plug-in for authenticating using a Radius server.
+
+* Updates and bug-fixes for the Solaris port.
+
+* The CBCP (Call Back Control Protocol) code has been updated.  There
+  are new options `remotenumber' and `allow-number'.
+
+* Extra hooks for plugins to use have been added.
+
+* There is now a `maxoctets' option, which causes pppd to terminate
+  the link once the number of bytes passed on the link exceeds a given
+  value.
+
+* There are now options to control whether pppd can use the IPCP
+  IP-Address and IP-Addresses options: `ipcp-no-address' and
+  `ipcp-no-addresses'.
+
+* Fixed several bugs, including potential buffer overflows in chat.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.1.
+**************************
+
+* Pppd can now print out the set of options that are in effect.  The
+  new `dump' option causes pppd to print out the option values after
+  option parsing is complete.  The `dryrun' option causes pppd to
+  print the options and then exit.
+
+* The option parsing code has been fixed so that options in the
+  per-tty options file are parsed correctly, and don't override values
+  from the command line in most cases.
+
+* The plugin option now looks in /usr/lib/pppd/<pppd-version> (for
+  example, /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1b1) for shared objects for plugins if
+  there is no slash in the plugin name.
+
+* When loading a plugin, pppd will now check the version of pppd for
+  which the plugin was compiled, and refuse to load it if it is
+  different to pppd's version string.  To enable this, the plugin
+  source needs to #include "pppd.h" and have a line saying:
+	char pppd_version[] = VERSION;
+
+* There is a bug in zlib, discovered by James Carlson, which can cause
+  kernel memory corruption if Deflate is used with the lowest setting,
+  8.  As a workaround pppd will now insist on using at least 9.
+
+* Pppd should compile on Solaris and SunOS again.
+
+* Pppd should now set the MTU correctly on demand-dialled interfaces.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.0.
+**************************
+
+* Multilink: this package now allows you to combine multiple serial
+  links into one logical link or `bundle', for increased bandwidth and
+  reduced latency.  This is currently only supported under the
+  2.4.x and later Linux kernels.
+
+* All the pppd processes running on a system now write information
+  into a common database.  I used the `tdb' code from samba for this.
+
+* New hooks have been added.
+
+For a list of the changes made during the 2.3 series releases of this
+package, see the Changes-2.3 file.
