[NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM
NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset. An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems. An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.
Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.
