l2tp: Add L2TPv3 protocol support

The L2TPv3 protocol changes the layout of the L2TP packet
header. Tunnel and session ids change from 16-bit to 32-bit values,
data sequence numbers change from 16-bit to 24-bit values and PPP-specific
fields are moved into protocol-specific subheaders.

Although this patch introduces L2TPv3 protocol support, there are no
userspace interfaces to create L2TPv3 sessions yet.

+	  Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Version 3
+
+	  From RFC 3931 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>.
+
+	  The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) provides a dynamic
+	  mechanism for tunneling Layer 2 (L2) "circuits" across a
+	  packet-oriented data network (e.g., over IP).  L2TP, as
+	  originally defined in RFC 2661, is a standard method for
+	  tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [RFC1661] sessions.
+	  L2TP has since been adopted for tunneling a number of other
+	  L2 protocols, including ATM, Frame Relay, HDLC and even raw
+	  ethernet frames.
+
+	  If you are connecting to L2TPv3 equipment, or you want to
+	  tunnel raw ethernet frames using L2TP, say Y here. If
+	  unsure, say N.
