dhcp: Increase buffer size for options in DHCP messages

According to RFC 2131, the minimum size of the 'options' field is 312
bytes, including the 4 byte magic cookie.  There also does not seem to
be any restriction regarding the message length, previously the length
was rounded to a multiple of 64 bytes.  The latter might have been
because in BOOTP the options field (or rather vendor-specific area as it
was called back then) had a fixed length of 64 bytes (so max(optlen+4, 64)
might actually have been what was intended), but for DHCP the field is
explicitly variable length, so I don't think it's necessary to pad it.
