    ng_pppoe: introduce new sysctl net.graph.pppoe.lcp_pcp
    
    New sysctl allows to mark transmitted PPPoE LCP Control
    ethernet frames with needed 3-bit Priority Code Point (PCP) value.
    Confirming driver like if_vlan(4) uses the value to fill
    IEEE 802.1p class of service field.
    
    This is similar to Cisco IOS "control-packets vlan cos priority"
    command.
    
    It helps to avoid premature disconnection of user sessions
    due to control frame drops (LCP Echo etc.)
    if network infrastructure has a botteleck at a switch
    or the xdsl DSLAM.
