osmo-sgsn: Fix outdated information in usermanual
Quite a few features that are listed as not-implemented in the overview section are actually implemented now. Change-Id: I8d499a25293b69babc2aebb2d697438f8ba8141f Related: OS#1720

-The LLC implementation does support LLC encryption. However, as no HLR

+It does support both TCP/IP header compression according to RFC1144 and
+payload compression according to V.42bis
+The LLC implementation does support LLC encryption with ciphers GEA3 and GEA4.
+For encryption to work the auth policy needs to be set to remote and the SGSN
+connected to an HLR containing the subscriber data including key material.
+Other auth policys will not work with encryption.

-* No IuPS interface for 3G (in progress)
-* No IP header compression
