  1. Allow pppd to start as non-root. 

    This patch adds #ifndef macros in 2 spots in order to allow pppd to be
spawned as a non-root user with only runtime capabilities (e.g.
CAP_NET_{RAW/ADMIN}) instead of giving pppd full root privileges. This
is helpful if pppd is itself spawned by a non-root user and the use of
file permissions (e.g. setuid-root) on the pppd binary is not a
desirable solution.
