[Bug 769568] [NEW] Ability to set ad-hoc DHCP options

[Will Daniels]

Public bug reported:

I would like to see some way to set ad-hoc DHCP options with Eucalyptus.
For example, I need my instances to have MTU <=1496 otherwise packets
will get lost, but rather than try to modify images and enforce by
documented policy for new images, it would be much simpler to be able to
set this option via the DHCP server.

Attaching my branch which has a rudimentary implementation using a
VNET_DHCPOPTS config setting. I'm not exactly proposing to merge this
as-is, but I didn't want to invest more time in it unless this is
something that might be accepted into the project.

I think that a generally more flexible DHCP config would be appreciated
by a number of people for different purposes, but would need to go
beyond a simple config addition such as is made here.
