(PM) free Simultaneous-Use support in Merit server limits multiple logins

I have written an addition to the Merit server to support limits on
simultaneous logins.

Although there are several patches floating around to enable this support
for the Livingston server, I didn't see any for Merit. Possibly this is
because the licensed version of the Merit radius server ($2495.00) has
perfectly good support built into its fine LAS module.

Like Merit's LAS code, this additional code maintains a call state-table,
which tracks dialup sessions to support the Simultaneous-Use attribute.
The table is modified and updated based on authentication and accounting
requests; it does not require running any external "helper" or "callout"
scripts. Unlike Merit's LAS code, the addition is single-purpose, and
free.
