Announcing dhcp-3.0rc8pl1

I just cut a patchlevel on 3.0rc8.   This doesn't fix all the problems
in rc8, but it fixes all the non-failover problems of which I am
aware, with the possible exception of a dynamic BOOTP problem a couple
of people have reported.   In particular, the problem with the DHCP
server spinning when one-lease-per-client was enabled and a client
requested a second lease has been resolved.

This patchlevel actually clears up a bunch of problems, but I'm
calling it a patchlevel rather than a release candidate because of the
problems it doesn't fix.   For a complete rundown, see the changelog.

		Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8

- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
  one-lease-per-client was enabled.

- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
  malformed packets.

- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.

- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
  so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
  wind up giving out zero-length leases.

- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.

- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.

- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
  make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.

- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
  tcp connections from being played back.

- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
  on exit.

- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.

- Add some configurability to the build system.

- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.

- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
  DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
  hadn't been noticed until now.
