DHCP Assertions

Subject: DHCP Assertions

The attached patch addresses an issue seen by one of my company's customers.
Some DHCP servers, in this case an unknown DSL modem/router combo, reply
with DHCP options sent by the eCos client, but with different values.  This
was causing the CYG_FAIL() assertion to assert in set_variable_tag() for the
TAG_HOST_NAME option.  Apparently, the customer's DHCP server is erroneously
including this option with a different length value than the eCos client is
sending.  It is unknown what this value is.
