  Log:
  From the RFC2516 it is not clear, what is the correct behavior for a
  PPPoE AC, servicing a specific Service-Name, when client sends a PADI
  with an empty Service-Name. Should it reply with all available service
  names or should it be silent? Our implementation had chosen the latter,
  while some other had chosen the former (they say Linux and Cisco). Now
  some PPPoE clients appear, that rely on the assumption that AC will
  send all names in a PADO reply to a PADI with wildcard Service-Name.
  These clients can't connect to FreeBSD AC.
  
  I have requested comments from authors of RFC2516 via email, but
  received no reply.
  
  This change makes FreeBSD AC compatible with D-Link DI-614+ and
  D-Link DI-624+ SOHO routers, and probably others.
  
  Big thanks to D-Link's Russian office, namely Victor Platov, for
  assistance and support in investigation and testing of this change.
  
  Details:
    o Split pppoe_match_svc() into three different functions serving
      different purposes:
      - pppoe_match_svc() - match non-empty Service-Name tag from PADI
        against all available hooks in listening state.
      - pppoe_find_svc() - check that given Service-Name is not yet
        registered.
      - pppoe_broadcast_padi() - send a copy of PADI packet with empty
        Service-Name tag to all listening hooks.
    o For NGM_PPPOE_LISTEN message use pppoe_find_svc().
    o In ng_pppoe_rcvdata() in a PADI case use pppoe_match_svc() for
      a non-empty Service-Name tag, and pppoe_broadcast_padi() in
      either case.
  
  A side effect from the above changes is that now pppoed(8) and mpd
  will reply to a empty Service-Name PADI sending a PADO with two
  Service-Name tags - an empty one and correct one. This is not fatal,
  and will be corrected in pppoed(8) and mpd later. No need to update
  node interface version.
