a594f9453b Make ng_pptpgre(8) netgraph node be able to restore order for packets
reordered in transit instead of dropping them altogether.
It uses sequence numbers of PPtPGRE packets.

A set of new sysctl(8) added to control this ability or disable it:

net.graph.pptpgre.reorder_max (1) defines maximum length of node's
private reorder queue used to keep data waiting for late packets.
Zero value disables reordering. Default value 1 allows the node to restore
the order for two packets swapped in transit. Greater values allow the node
to deliver packets being late after more packets in sequence
at cost of increased kernel memory usage.

net.graph.pptpgre.reorder_timeout (1) defines time value in miliseconds
used to wait for late packets. It may be useful to increase this
if reordering spot is distant.

489290e9e9 Rewrite node to support multiple hooks, alike to ng_l2tp, to use one pair
of pptpgre and ksocket nodes for all calls between two peers. This patch
modifies node's API by adding new "session_%04x" hook names support, while
keeping backward compatibility.

Together with appropriate user-level support (by latest mpd5) it gives
huge performance benefits for case of multiple active calls between
two peers because of avoiding data duplication and extra socket processing.
On my benchmarks I have got more then 10 times speedup for the 200
simultaneous PPTP calls between two peers.
In conclusion, it allows now to build effective "clients <=> PAC <=> PNS"
setups.

f0184ff8e3 Fix GCC warnings caused by initializing a zero length array. In the process,
simply things a bit by getting rid of 'struct ng_parse_struct_info' which
was useless because it only contained one field.

cc3bbd68c5 Since neither archie nor I work at Whistle any more, change our email
addresses to be the more usefu @freebsd.org ones
so we can keep getting bug-reports.
- man pages to follow..

678f9e335e Several fixes:
- Fix slowness when operating over fast connections, where the timeout(9)
  granularity is on the same order of magnitude as the round trip time.
  timeout(9) can happen up to 1 tick early, which was causing receive
  ack timeouts to happen too early, causing bogus "lost" packets.
- Increase the local time counter to 64 bits to avoid roll-over.
- Keep statistics on memory allocation failures.
- Add a new option to always include the ack when sending data packets.
  Might be useful in high packet loss situations. Might not.

9bee7adfa8 Fix a couple of bugs:
- Properly handle 32 bit sequence numbers when they wrap around
- Don't drop GRE packets with stale ACK numbers, just ignore the ACK
- Close race between node being shutdown and timer going off
Also add support for lots of statistics, and control message ASCIIfication

add85a1d6e New netgraph node type 'pptpgre': this performs GRE encapsulation
for the PPTP protocol as specified in RFC 2637.
