Introduce the --dhcp-opt flag that allows setting arbitrary DHCP
options from command-line in the form [--dhcp-opt CODE,VALUE].
Add a type lookup table mapping option codes to RFC 2132 value types
(IPv4, IPv4 list, integer, string) and dhcp_opt_parse() to convert
CLI strings to binary wire format. Parsed options are stored in
struct ctx and injected into DHCP replies. If the same option code
is given more than once, the last value wins.

v4:
- Renamed custom_opts to dhcp_opts, 256 entries indexed by option
code, removed MAX_CUSTOM_DHCP_OPTS and count field.
- Changed str buffer from 256 to 255 bytes.
- Moved function to conf.c as static conf_dhcp_option(), renamed
from dhcp_add_option().
- Made dhcp_opt_parse() non-static, declared in dhcp.h
- Dropped val/len from ctx struct; conf_dhcp_option() validates
with temp buffer, dhcp() parses str directly into opts[] at
reply time.
- Replaced strtok_r() + 256-byte buffer with strcspn() +
INET_ADDRSTRLEN buffer.
- Added DHCP_OPT_SINT32 for option 2 (Time Offset), uses strtol()
per RFC 2132 Section 8.2.
- All errors in dhcp_opt_parse() return -1, removed die() calls;
caller handles error message consistently.
- Removed redundant !slen check in DHCP_OPT_STR case.
- Omitted explicit array size for dhcp_opt_types[], arraydded bounds
check before lookup.
- Added errno = 0 + errno check for strtoul() in case 34.
- Fixed usage text: "Set DHCP option CODE to VAL".
- Improved man page: added format description and examples
v3:
- Replaced DHCP_OPT_INTEGER with separate DHCP_OPT_INT8/INT16/INT32
enums, removed dhcp_opt_int_width[] array.
- Shared logic between DHCP_OPT_IPV4 and DHCP_OPT_IPV4_LIST — parse
both as list, error if >1 in single case.
- Added errno = 0 before strtoul() and check after.
- Fixed range check: 1ULL << (width * 8) for all widths including
width==4.
- strncpy → memcpy for DHCP_OPT_STR.
- Moved enum to dhcp.c since not used in other files.
- Removed options 55, 61 (client-only), 119 (DNS compression, use
--dhcp-search instead), 33 (IP pairs not supported).
- DHCP_OPT_PARSE_BUF 1024 → char tmp[256].
- Upgraded dhcp_add_option() to call dhcp_opt_parse() and populate
val[]/len.
- Aligned array entries for readability.
- Added tab after @DHCP_OPT_IPV4_LIST: in kerneldoc.
- Reject empty value strings before parsing
- Reject leading/trailing/consecutive commas in IP list values.
v2:
- Replaced struct lookup table + dhcp_opt_type_lookup() function with flat dhcp_opt_types[256] array indexed by code.
- Consolidated DHCP_OPT_UINT8/UINT16/UINT32 into single DHCP_OPT_INTEGER with dhcp_opt_int_width[256] table.
- Dropped DHCP_OPT_ROUTES / option 121 entirely.
- Added kerneldoc for enum dhcp_opt_type values.
- Removed curly braces from switch cases, declarations before switch.
- Added newlines before return statements.
- Changed IP list delimiter from space to comma (--dhcp-opt 6,1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8).
- Defined DHCP_OPT_PARSE_BUF constant for bare 1024.
- Added len and val[255] fields to struct here (moved from patch 1).
- Added kerneldoc for @custom_opts.len and @custom_opts.val.
- Wired dhcp_opt_parse() into case 32 (--dhcp-boot) to populate val/len.
