Custom namespaces play important role when it comes to specification of
vendor options or options that encapsulate other options. In DHCPv4 the
pool of available option codes is limited because option code value is
uint8. For this reason option codes may be not unique and supplementary
information is needed to identify the particular option - namespace. Since
namespaces can group options it becomes conevnient to use namespace name
in the OptionDefinition to point out that the particular option
encapsulates multiple other options (belonging to the namespace). We need
a way to specify namespaces through the Configuration Manager. This task
assumes creation of Namespace class that holds namespace attributes.
