fixed-address leases in dhcpd.leases

[Bob Harold]

I see now that "reserved lease" is documented in:
https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpdconf

But until it is supported in dhcpd.conf and/or the various DDI vendors
(Infoblox, BlueCat, etc), it will be difficult to use.
An option in a "host" statement to make it "reserved" would be great.
