PPPoE buglet...

I spent a while trying to get PPPoE going through a Netopia smart
modem last night. To cut a long story short, the values for
PTT_RELAY_SID in src/sys/netgraph/ng_pppoe.h are wrong (at least
when compared with tcpdump, linux and the RFC). We have:

#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
#define PTT_RELAY_SID   (0x0106)
#else
#define PTT_RELAY_SID   (0x0601)
#endif

but we should have:

#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
#define PTT_RELAY_SID   (0x0110)
#else
#define PTT_RELAY_SID   (0x1001)
#endif

Anyone object to my fixing it? The only thing I can think of that
it might break would be people using ng_pppoe as a PPPoE relay with
only ng_pppoe PPPoE clients.
