All releases of knock

The leftover/deprecated layer-2 MAC logic has been removed. Some memory leaks and potential security issues have been fixed. Packet filtering has been moved to kernel space with BPF filters.
Release Notes: Support for DLT_RAW (PPPoE) interfaces was added. Packet inspection was changed to use the interface's IP address to determine the flow direction rather than the ethernet MAC address.
