Add a convenience shorthand --dhcp-boot FILE that sets the boot file
name (DHCP option 67) for network boot. This is equivalent to
--dhcp-opt 67,FILE.

v6:
- no changes.
v5:
- replaced conf_dhcp_option() to dhcp_set_opt().
v4:
- Changed argument name from URL to FILE in usage and man page.
- Fixed UEFI HTTP boot wording in man page
v3:
- case 32 now calls dhcp_add_option(c, 67, optarg).
- Handles duplicate codes: --dhcp-boot and --dhcp-opt 67 coexist
correctly, last value wins.
v2:
- Removed separate dhcp_boot[PATH_MAX] field — --dhcp-boot foo
now stores into custom_opts[] as code 67 (same as --dhcp-opt 67,foo)
