#5189: [PATCH] openfirmware: Provide fallback for DHCP

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
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}}}.
