OpenWrt used to ship hardcoded defaults for lcp-echo-failure and
lcp-echo-interval in the non-uci /etc/ppp/options file.
These values break uci support for *disabling* LCP echos through
the use of "option keepalive 0" as either omitting the keepalive
option or setting it to 0 will result in no lcp-echo-* flags
getting passed to the pppd cmdline, causing the pppd process to
revert to the defaults in /etc/ppp/options.
Address this issue by letting the uci "keepalive" option default
to the former hardcoded values "5, 1" and by removing the fixed
lcp-echo-failure and lcp-echo-interval settings from the
/etc/ppp/options files.
