In a typical mesh network, when a new client connects then it will
usually first try to grab an IPv4 address via DHCP. Afterwards in
public mesh networks a client will try to contact the internet over
the server.
While the IPv4 address of the DHCP-Server is usually well propagated
in the DHT, the IPv4 address of a newly joining client is not.
This can lead to a considerable amount of ARP broadcasts not caught
by DAT from the servers.
In a 1000 nodes mesh network (Freifunk Hamburg) we can still see
30KBit/s of ARP traffic (equalling about 25% of all layer two
specific overhead, remaining after some filtering) flooded through
the mesh. These 30KBit/s are mainly ARP Requests from the
gateways / DHCP servers.
Through snooping DHCPACKs we can actually learn about MAC/IP address
pairs without the need of any flooded ARP messages in advance. This
allows servers to fill their local DAT cache with according entries
before any communciation with a client can possibly have taken place.

Changes in RFC -> non-RFC
* Added kerneldoc
* Added Signed-off-by
* More IP Header checks
(iph->hlen considered, ip version checked, ...)
* Parsing & checking DHCP Message Type Option,
only snooping DHCPACKs now
* Moved ethernet protocol check from batadv_dat_check_dhcp to
batadv_dat_check_dhcp_ipudp
* Removed buffer-length parameter from
batadv_dat_dhcp_get_{yiaddr,chaddr}()
* Renamed batadv_dat_put() to batadv_dat_put_pairs()
