PPP daemon can be put into persist mode meaning the
daemon will not exit after a connection gets terminated
but will instead try to reopen the connection.
The re-initiation after the link has been terminated
can be controlled via holdoff; this is helpfull in
scenarios where a BRAS is in denial of service mode
due to link setup requests after a BRAS has gone down
Following uci parameters have been added :
persist (boolean) : Puts the ppp daemon in persist mode
maxfail (integer) : Number of consecutive fail attempts which
puts the PPP daemon in exit mode
holdoff (interget) : Specifies how many seconds to wait
before re-initiating link setup after it has been terminated

The previous implementation of the "host-uniq" option used plain strings for
passing the value to pppd which made it impossible to specify binary data.
Switch the format to a hex encoded string to support binary data.

Note, that licensing stuff is a nightmare: many packages does not clearly
state their licenses, and often multiple source files are simply copied
together - each with different licensing information in the file headers.
I tried hard to ensure, that the license information extracted into the OpenWRT's
makefiles fit the "spirit" of the packages, e.g. such small packages which
come without a dedicated source archive "inherites" the OpenWRT's own license
in my opinion.
However, I can not garantee that I always picked the correct information
and/or did not miss license information.

Port Debians adaptive LCP echo patch to pppd, make it configurable with UCI
and enable it by default.
When adaptive LCP echo is enabled, LCP echo requests are only sent if the
link is idle, this avoids the common situation where a congested PPP link
(e.g. during torrenting) is falsely detected as disconnected because the
LCP replies are not received in time.
Also bump the copyright year in the Makefile, remove a redundant maintainer
entry and fix the shell processing of the keepalive option when the two-
value syntax is used.

This patch removes dependancy of PPP from chat application as chat application can be used for other serial communication as well that is not dependant on PPP and therefore one should be able to install chat without PPP. There also are no dependencies within chat application for PPP.

Since the switch to netifd, proto handlers may always set the defaultroute
and provide dns server addresses, netifd will decide in the generic code
path whether the announced values are masked or not.
Additionally protocol handlers should not modify the routing tables themselves
and prevent any launched services from doing so.
Remove the additional defaultroute and peerdns option handling from the ppp.sh
protocol handler and rely on netifd to mask or not mask the values.
