#5636: Move resolv.conf updating from DHCP Client to net_server

I'm currently working on a patch that will move the updating of
resolv.conf from the DHCP client to the net_server.
The way I've invisioned it is to define a separate kMsgConfigureResolver
message that is sent to the net_server from the DHCP client. The rationale
for creating a new message and not adding the info to the existing
kMsgConfigureInterface message is that the resolver settings is system
wide, not really Interface-specific.
This could also be used by when the network preflet need to update
resolv.conf instead of the preflet writing the file by itself as it does
now.
Does this seem like a good way to handle the resolv.conf updating?
