ipcpd: Revise UDP IPCP
The UDP IPCP now uses a fixed server UDP port (default 3435) for all communications. This allows passing firewalls more easily since only a single port needs to be opened. The client port can be fixed as well if needed (default random). It uses an internal eid, so the MTU of the UDP layer is reduced by 4 bytes, similar to the Ethernet IPCPs.
