This patch is fine as it is, but during discussion we found a missing
case - a server pushing "compress <something>".

There's basically (at least) 3 ways to handle this - so bringing this up for
discussion, and a future patch

 - add "compress" to check_dco_pull_options()
 - extend dco_check_option_conflict() to set "allow-compression no" (this 
   will make openvpn refuse all incoming "compress" configs on its own)
 - or extend dco_check_option_conflict() to make "allow-compression asym/yes"
   disable DCO

I tend to option 3 - default for allow-compression is "no" anyway with
2.6, so if you have this in your config, compression could show up in
a ccd/ file or pushed -> no DCO for you.
