Add 'allow-compression stub-only' internally for DCO
This changes the "no" setting of allow-compression to also refuse framing
if DCO is active. This is important for our DCO implementations as these
do not implement framing.
This behaviour surfaced when a commercial VPN provider was pushing
"comp-lzo no" to a client with DCO. While we are technically at fault here
for announcing comp-lzo no support by announcing IV_LZO_STUB=1, the
VPN provider continues to push "comp-lzo no" even in absense of that
flag.
As the new default we default to 'allow-compression no' if DCO is
enabled and to 'allow-compression stub' otherwise.
This will now also bail out if the server pushes a compression setting that
we do not support as mismatching compression is almost never a working
connection. In the case of lz4-v2 and lzo-v2 you might have a connection
that works mostly but some packets will be dropped since they compressed
which is not desirable either since it becomes very hard to debug.
Patch v2: bail out if server pushes an unsupported method. Also include this
bail out logic when OpenVPN is compiled without compression support.
Patch v3: always parse all compression option and move logic to check method
Patch v4: fix for not setting correct default for non-dco
