Unexport part of linux/ppp-comp.h as userspace can't make use of that bit.

This changes the copyright notices on the PPP code that I developed
in the late 1990s from being copyright The Australian National
University to copyright Paul Mackerras.  I can do this as I have an
acknowledgement in writing from the Head of the Computer Science
Department at ANU (where I worked then) that ANU does not claim any
intellectual property in this code.

While I'm at it, change the copyright notice from BSD-style to
GNU GPL like the rest of the kernel.

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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
