Bug#1076215: ax25-tools, dahdi-tools: install program with same name (sethdlc)

[David Ranch]

Hello Chris,

Ax25-tool's sethdlc program predates this far later Asterisk dahdi-tools 
utility by decades so I would argue that Asterisk should change.  That 
said, I don't know if there is much use for the sethdlc tool these days 
as it was used with legacy hardware. I've CCed DL9SAU here who supports 
the the primary version of these tools at 
https://linux-ax25.in-berlin.de/wiki/Main_Page to see what his thoughts 
might be here.
