RHEL7, feature request for "dhcpd": Add ignore-client-uids option in the server.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We fall in an issue already patched in the upstream version of ISC dhcp (4.3.x). So we need a backport of the following feature, explained in the release notes:

- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server.  This option causes
  the server to not record a client's uid in its lease.  This
  violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
  can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
  Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Ply Pomona for the patch.
