ppp: Permit CHAP challenges up to 255 bytes
RFC 1994 does not place any limit on the length of the value field in
challenge messages except that the length is a single octet which
bounds the maximum length to 255.
NB: I'm not sure why the local[] and peer[] arrays contain room for an
authentication name (AUTHLEN) in addition to a challenge value/response,
but I've just left that in place.
