bootp: Add processing DHCPACK packet from HTTP Boot
The vendor class identifier with the string "HTTPClient" is used to denote the
packet as responding to HTTP boot request. In DHCP4 config, the filename for
HTTP boot is the URL of the boot file while for PXE boot it is the path to the
boot file. As a consequence, the next-server becomes obseleted because the HTTP
URL already contains the server address for the boot file. For DHCP6 config,
there's no difference definition in existing config as dhcp6.bootfile-url can
