  Log:
  Implement Reset{Req,Ack} properly, as per rfc 1962.
  (I completely mis-read the rfc last time 'round!)
  
  This means:
    o Better CCP/WARN Reset diagnostics.
    o After we've sent a REQ and before we've received an ACK, we drop
      incoming compressed data and send another REQ.
    o Before sending an ACK, re-sequence all pending PRI_NORMAL data in
      the modem queue so that pending packets won't get to the peer
      *after* the ResetAck.
    o Send ACKs with the `identifier' from the REQ frame.
    o After we've received a correct ACK, duplicate ACKs are ok (and will
      reset our history).
    o Incorrect ACKs (not matching the last REQ) are moaned about and dropped.
  
  Also,
  
    o Calculate the correct FCS after compressing a packet.  DEFLATE
      *may* produce an mbuf with more than a single link in the chain,
      but HdlcOutput didn't know how to calculate the FCS :-(
    o Make `struct fsm'::reqid a u_char, not an int.
      This fix will prevent us from sending id `255' 2,000,000,000 times
      before wrapping to `0' for another 2,000,000,000 sends :-/
    o Bump the version number a little.
  
  The end result:  DEFLATE now works over an unreliable link layer.
                   I can txfr a 1.5Mb kernel over a (rather bad) null-modem
                   cable at an average of 21679 bytes per second using rcp.
  Repeat after me: Don't test compression using a loopback ppp/tcp setup as
                   we never lose packets and therefore never have to reset!
