The idea of this option was already discussed years ago on the mailing
list:
https://dnsmasq-discuss.thekelleys.org.narkive.com/ZoFQNaGo/always-ignore-client-identifier#post4
In our production environnement, we discovered that some devices are
using 'client identifier' not unique at all, resulting on IP addresses
conflicts between several devices (we saw up to four devices using same
IP address).
The root cause is probably a buggy operating system/configuration of
decices, but this patch add a configuration workaround on server side
when fixing clients is impossible.

The option was already described in the original manual page but was not
replicated in the french translation.

The use of "peut-être" should be spelled "peut être" (without the
hyphen) unless it can be replaced by "sans doute".
It is roughly the same difference between "maybe" and "may be".
As for "doit-être", it should always be spelled "doit être".

Various typos were present along with spelling mistakes and grammar
errors. Some sentences were missing a few words to be easily
understandable.
Many of them probably remain though.

This is useful when using dnsmasq as DHCP server for a set of VMs
whose data is routed by the host instead of being bridged. In this
scenario:
- There is an unbounded set of TAP interfaces that have no IP address
at the host end.
- DHCP allocation is done from an IPv4 address range associated with a
dummy interface.
- We run dnsmasq with --interface dummy --interface tap*
--bind-dynamic, so that it listens on all the TAP interfaces, and
--bridge-interface=dummy,tap*, so that it will allocate IP addresses
via the TAP interfaces from the range associated with the dummy
interface.
