[cisco-nas] RADIUS Support of 56-Bit Acct Session-Id -> bug?

[Dennis Peng]

There's been a mixup in the documentation. This feature is not
available until 12.3(4)T. So it is not available in 12.2(15)T or 12.3
mainline releases. I'll have the documentation corrected. It does work
in 12.3(4)T though. ;)

*Jan 22 17:03:17.993: RADIUS:  Acct-Session-Id     [44]  18  "5600000000000006"
