The current code is buggy regarding handling of link state when using
both IPCP and IPv6CP: if IPv6CP has been set up and if during IPCP
negociation, ipcp_up() fails, it will incorrectly take the interface
down. The simple solution here is to change the platform code to do the
same as on Solaris: separate IPv6CP up/down state handling with sif6up()
and sif6down(), so that we really know when the interface is allowed to
go down.

PPP notify phase support, using compile-time PPP_NOTIFY_PHASE macro.
This can be used for example to set a LED pattern depending on the
current phase of the PPP session.
Callback example:
static void ppp_notify_phase_cb(ppp_pcb *pcb, u8_t phase, void *ctx) {
switch(phase) {
case PPP_PHASE_DEAD: /* Kept off */
case PPP_PHASE_MASTER:
/* LED Off */
break;
case PPP_PHASE_INITIALIZE: /* Session opened */
/* LED FastBlink */
break;
case PPP_PHASE_RUNNING: /* Session running */
/* LED On */
break;
default:
/* LED SlowBlink */
}
}
pbuf_type PPP is using for LCP, PAP, CHAP, EAP, IPCP and IP6CP packets.
Memory allocated must be single buffered for PPP to works, it requires pbuf
that are not going to be chained when allocated. This requires setting
PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE to at least 512 bytes, which is quite huge for small systems.
Setting PPP_USE_PBUF_RAM to 1 makes PPP use memory from heap where continuous
buffers are required, allowing you to use a smaller PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE.
