Manual page: clarify that the --address and --ipset options take one or
more domains rather than just two. Clarify that --ipset puts addresses
in all ipsets, it is not a 1:1 mapping from addresses.
Also increase the width for options output in --help, some options were
truncated leading to confusing output. Almost all options and
descriptions are now within the 120 colums limit.
The check that there's enough space to store the DHCP agent-id
at the end of the packet could succeed when it should fail
if the END option is in either of the oprion-overload areas.
That could overwrite legit options in the request and cause
bad behaviour. It's highly unlikely that any sane DHCP client
would trigger this bug, and it's never been seen, but this
fixes the problem.
Also fix off-by-one in bounds checking of option processing.
Worst case scenario on that is a read one byte beyond the
end off a buffer with a crafted packet, and maybe therefore
a SIGV crash if the memory after the buffer is not mapped.
Thanks to Timothy Becker for spotting these.

dhcp: set outbound interface via cmsg in unicast reply
If multiple routes to the same network exist, Linux blindly picks
the first interface (route) based on destination address, which might not be
the one we're actually offering leases. Rather than relying on this,
always set the interface for outgoing unicast DHCP packets.
because in the aliasing case, iface_index is changed from the index of
the interface on which the packet was received, to be the interface
index of the 'bridge' interface (where the DHCP context is expected to
be defined, and so needs to be looked up).
For the cmsg code that the cited commit added, we need the original
iface_index; so this commit saves that off before the aliasing code
can change it, as rcvd_iface_index, and then uses rcvd_iface_index
instead of iface_index for the cmsg code.
