Adds an option to pppd to control whether to replace existing default routes
when using the 'defaultroute' option.
If defaultroute and replacedefaultroute are both set, pppd replaces an existing
default route with the new default route. The old default route is restored when
the connection is taken down.

be sure to close /dev/ppp when reconnecting

Subject: Bug#306261: pppd does not properly close /dev/ppp on persist
When using the kernel PPPoE driver, pppd never
closes /dev/ppp when the link has come down.
It opens superfluous fds to the device each time it re-opens the
connection, with the unclosed ones falsely reported always ready for
data by select().
This makes pppd eat up 100% CPU time after the first persist because of
the always instantly returning select() on the unclosed fds.
The problem also occurs with the upstream version, but does not occur
when a pty/tty device is used for the ppp connection.

This is a modified version of a patch from openSUSE that enables PPP interfaces
to be called arbitrary names, rather than simply pppX where X is the unit
number.
The modifications from the stock openSUSE patch are:
- refresh patch on top of 018_ip-up_option.diff
- fix a printf format-string vulnerability in pppd/main.c:set_ifunit()
- clarify the pppd.8 manpage additions
- patch pppstats/pppstats.c to query renamed interfaces without complaint
