 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.
