    CLOUDSTACK-8326: Always fill UDP checksums in DHCP replies in VR

    In some cases the UDP checksums in packets from DHCP servers are
    incorrect. This is a problem for some DHCP clients that ignore
    packets with bad checksums. This patch inserts an iptables rule
    to ensure DHCP servers always send packets with correct checksums.
    
    Due to this bug DHCP offers are sometimes not accepted by Instances.
    
    The end-result without this fix is no connectivity for the Instance
    due to the lack of a IPv4 address.
