[PATCH] openfirmware: Provide fallback for DHCP

Description
The IP address (e.g., for communicating with remote disk servers) is currently taken from /chosen/dhcp-response, which is commented as non-standardized.
On my PowerMac G3 b&w, DHCP does not work at all. I need to either specify it as part of the boot command or set a default for it in default-client-ip.
If we don't have the binary address in /chosen/dhcp-response, try to parse the address from /options/default-client-ip.

Applied in hrev34850. (Small changes to keep pointer style consistent.)

Thanks for the patch, but please have another look at our coding style: cryptic names like "sz" or "psz" must not be used.

Thanks to both of you, I'll rework it after a short vacation.
And I'll try extracting the IP from the boot path as well.

For the record, Axel has reworked the code in hrev34870.
Attached is a new patch which:
- fixes Coding Style issues pointed out by Axel
- fixes a potential buffer overflow and fault in my
default-client-ipcode path (OF counts terminating zero char, too) - adds an intermediate fallback to parsing the boot path
- adds me to the file header, having added the second feature now (don't care about the exact format, cf. Coding Style)
