Support for DHCID RR (RFC 4701)

Notes:
- see attached patch. created from tortoisesvn create patch
- only shows rdata section (see section 3.2), only the dhcp clients and servers
will use this.
- see attached packet capture
- tests ok
====================
                A DNS Resource Record (RR) for Encoding
   Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Information (DHCID RR)

3.  The DHCID RR

   The DHCID RR is defined with mnemonic DHCID and type code 49.  The
   DHCID RR is only defined in the IN class.  DHCID RRs cause no
   additional section processing.

3.1.  DHCID RDATA Format

   The RDATA section of a DHCID RR in transmission contains RDLENGTH
   octets of binary data.  The format of this data and its
   interpretation by DHCP servers and clients are described below.

   DNS software should consider the RDATA section to be opaque.  DHCP
   clients or servers use the DHCID RR to associate a DHCP client's
   identity with a DNS name, so that multiple DHCP clients and servers
   may deterministically perform dynamic DNS updates to the same zone.
   From the updater's perspective, the DHCID resource record RDATA
   consists of a 2-octet identifier type, in network byte order,

   followed by a 1-octet digest type, followed by one or more octets
   representing the actual identifier:

           < 2 octets >    Identifier type code
           < 1 octet >     Digest type code
           < n octets >    Digest (length depends on digest type)

3.2.  DHCID Presentation Format

   In DNS master files, the RDATA is represented as a single block in
   base-64 encoding identical to that used for representing binary data
   in [8], Section 3.  The data may be divided up into any number of
   white-space-separated substrings, down to single base-64 digits,
   which are concatenated to form the complete RDATA.  These substrings
   can span lines using the standard parentheses.
