[PATCH] docs: Document newly introduced net_dhcp command


From: Andre Przywara
Subject: [PATCH] docs: Document newly introduced net_dhcp command
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:58:34 +0100

Commit 5bc41db756c5 ("net/dhcp: Add explicit net_dhcp command")
introduced the new command "net_dhcp", which (for now) is an alias for
the existing "net_bootp". Unfortunately the TEXI documentation was not
adjusted accordingly.

Rename the existing paragraph about net_bootp to read net_dhcp instead,
and make the net_bootp stanza point to this new command.

On the way add the newly parsed TFTP_SERVER_NAME and BOOTFILE_NAME
packets to the list of supported DHCP options.
