pppd: Add option to ask peer for WINS address
This adds a 'usepeerwins' option, analogous to the usepeerdns option,
to ask the peer for WINS server addresses. Nothing is done with
the addresses provided other than to pass them to the ip-up
script in environment variables.
With this, if the peer sends an IPCP Configure-NAK containing
WINS addresses, we will request them in the following IPCP
Configure-Request.
