[Swan] an xauth logging message

i haven't seen checks on modeconfig and xauth values on a connection. It seems libreswn  treat them independently. Which is confusing!

Also i wondered if the roles change runtime due to a state or an incoming packet.  It was confusing me, that is why i tried to add log lines; typo, "sate" =>"state" is  my mistake. It can be fixed easily! 

the ones i ran into are

leftxauthserver=yes
lefxauthclient=yes
leftmodecfgserver=yes
leftmodecfgclient=yes
modecfgpull=yes
modecfgdns1
modecfgdns2 

No evidence of run time role change. I think, if one side is configured as 
server and client state machine seems go crazy.
