This patch implements optional authentication phase, which is done
between link establishment and network phases. It is part of LCP option
negotiation to decide whether authentication is needed and which
protocol will be used. For now we add only PAP support and try to
negotiate it when some other protocol (e.g. CHAP or EAP) is proposed
earlier. For simplicity reason we only add one way authentication
support, which means that we try to authenticate to the other peer, but
do not require authentication from it.
This is an important step to make PPP work with cellular network modems,
because most of them require to provide username and password within PPP
authentication phase. Those credentials are used by modem to login to
cellular network. In most cases however it is enough to provide dummy
values, because they are not verified. For this reason and simplicity of
this patch we hardcode PAP Peer-ID and Password now.

This module had only some header includes, without actual code. Remove
it, as it is better to create one module per authentication protocol
anyway.

The functions ppp_mgmt_raise_carrier_on/off_event() were not
implemented, but already documeted in the header net/ppp.h
