Responding (finally) to bugs RGB found a week ago...

This is the bug I fixed a day or two ago (with some help!), in which there really shouldn't be an authkey at all in that SA.

Because the programmer -- whose name we won't mention :-) -- who wrote the protocol-type fixes for ipsec_manual made some unwarranted assumptions about the type of the SAs at each step, and I missed this when I incorporated his changes. Note that it's getting the SPI right; the problem is that the protocol-type code needs to vary with the type of connection, rather than being hardwired. I *think* I've fixed this now. (The logic there is a bit messy, and I haven't tested every possible case.)
