Merge patch series "BOOTP/DHCPv4 enhancements"

Sean Edmond <[email protected]> says:

In our datacenter application, a single DHCP server is servicing 36000+ clients.
Improvements are required to the DHCPv4 retransmission behavior to align with
RFC and ensure less pressure is exerted on the server:
- retransmission backoff interval maximum is configurable
  (environment variable bootpretransmitperiodmax)
- initial retransmission backoff interval is configurable
  (environment variable bootpretransmitperiodinit)
- transaction ID is kept the same for each BOOTP/DHCPv4 request
  (not recreated on each retry)

For our application we'll use:
- bootpretransmitperiodmax=16000
- bootpretransmitperiodinit=2000

A new configuration BOOTP_RANDOM_XID has been added to enable a randomized
BOOTP/DHCPv4 transaction ID.

Enhance DHCPv4 sending/parsing option 209 (PXE config file).  A previous
patch was accepted.  A new patch fixes a possible double free() and
addresses latest review comments.
