[Freeipmi-devel] Different LAN authentication support checked in

Hey everyone,

Major modifications throughout to add support for varying authentication
types, including none, md2, and md5.  I have done limited testing with
md2/md5, so I'm not sure how much of it works at this time, but the
normal password authentication still works.

Note that ipmi_lan_cmd() (and those functions that depend on it) now
only supports password or no authentication.  Md2 or Md5 just don't make
any sense for these functions.

Lots to do still, I may or may not do another checkin today/tomorrow.
- debugging prefixes
- Need to add dumping for lan packets
- auth_code check code, for all authentication types.  Maybe other 
checking type code.  I dunno.

Handful of thoughts/ideas while working with the new fiid library.

1) At some point in the future, I believe we should alter the the
fiid_obj_t and fiid_template_t types.  There are just too many corner
cases that can be hit in the library right now.

2) I added an "ERR_EXIT" macro to ipmi-error.h.  I believe we needed a
"fatal-error" exit routine for very very bad internal errors.

Al
