ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.h
This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h. The new file has my copyright since I designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s. None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h published by Carnegie Mellon University. Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical). Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h> which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code. Thus I have removed the CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other copyright notice.
