fixed usage of libpcap

Hi,

while updating to libpcap 0.8.1 I realized that pppd uses it's
own version of pcap-int.h that does not match the original
version anymore.

Attached is a patch against ppp 2.4.2 to solve that problem.  The
rename from net/bpf.h to pcap-bpf.h happend somewhere between
libpcap 0.7.2 and 0.8.1.

But I still have the problem that libpcap reports an error when
using inbound or outbound:

error in active-filter expression: inbound/outbound not supported
on linktype 9

Seems as if that's not supported anymore and was so far silently
ignored.  Does anyone know more about that?

ciao Arvin
