gatchat: implement PAP authentication
Make the authentication method configurable, CHAP or PAP, defaulting to CHAP (i.e.: previous behaviour). Implementation details: o If PAP is configured, we NAK the CHAP authentication protocol option in LCP configuration requests and suggest PAP instead. This works around the amusing requirement of 3GPP TS 29.061 that modems must send a forced positive acknowledgement of the authentication method tried (i.e.: the modem will successfully accept any CHAP handshake, but if the network only supports PAP, the modem will hang up when it tries and fails to activate the PDP context) o The PAP Authenticate-Request is resent a hard-coded three times at ten-second intervals. This may be a bit too persistent. Chances are if it doesn't work the first time, it'll never work, but the RFC insists that we MUST retry.
