PPPoE does not automatically start on boot

Description

On VyOS 1.2-rolling-201910180117 PPPoE clients fail to start on system boot. (In my case PPPoE is configured over an Ethernet VLAN.) (This setup worked perfectly on VyOS 1.1.8.)

Looking through journalctl -b 0 (i.e. last boot logs), I see the following:

pppd[4863]: In file /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe0: unrecognized option 'eth0.2'

Perhaps the VLAN interface is created only moments after PPPoE starts.

Also related to this. If for any reason the pppd process is killed, the PPPoE interfaces are not brought up again.

Looks like there is a missing priority statement in the VIF implementation.

Tested using the below configuration on VyOS 1.2-rolling-201911030217

vyos@vyos# show interfaces ethernet eth0 | strip-private
 duplex auto
 hw-id XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:3c
 smp-affinity auto
 speed auto
 vif 7 {
     description TELEKOM-FTTH
     pppoe 0 {
         default-route auto
         mtu 1492
         name-server none
         password xxxxxx
         user-id xxxxxx

 }

working as expected
