Well, there is a nice side effect to addign the md4 option: it is
selected by EAP-MSCHAPv2, so a user that is concerned about the ude of
nd4 will notice that they should also disable EAP-MSCHAPv2.

If we do not add this option, it is forcibly enabled by strongswan when
EAP-MSCHAPv2 is enabled, so this is hidden to the user...
