[PATCH] net: dhcp: allow to set transmitted vendor id

[Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@sigma-chemnitz.de>]

For net boot setups it is useful to submit boot params like server or
bootfile over dhcp.  To distinguish barebox from e.g. pxe machines, a
custom vendor id can be sent in dhcp discover/request messages.

E.g. the ISC dhcp server can be configured with

| if substring(option vendor-class-identifier,0,8) = "barebox:" {
| 	next-server		192.168.3.24;
| 	server-name		"192.168.3.24";
| 	option tftp-server-name	"192.168.3.24";
| 	option root-path = concat("/srv/sysroots/by-mac/",
|          binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "-", substring (hardware, 1, 6)));
| }

to sent boot params which are valid for barebox hosts only.
