Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
Previously we'd only only send one DHCP request for network interfaces
which were up when DHCPClient started. If that packet was lost we'd
never send another request for those interfaces.
Also, if an interface were to appear after DHCPClient started (not
that that is possible at the moment) we wouldn't send requests for
that interface either.
We had some inconsistencies before:
- Sometimes "The", sometimes "the"
- Sometimes trailing ".", sometimes no trailing "."
I picked the most common one (lowecase "the", trailing ".") and applied
it to all copyright headers.
By using the exact same string everywhere we can ensure nothing gets
missed during a global search (and replace), and that these
inconsistencies are not spread any further (as copyright headers are
commonly copied to new files).
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.
ambr --no-parent-ignore --key-from-file --rep-from-file key.txt rep.txt *
Attempts are spaced out with exponential backoff, cut at 10 minutes per
attempt.
Also avoid trying to acquire an IP on interfaces that aren't up.
Fixes#6126.
Fixes#6125.
Real DHCP servers might decide to send the DHCPAck directly to the
specified ciaddr instead of as a unicast or multicast, resulting in
the ack being ignored by the network adapter when we are requesting
a new IPv4 address instead of renewing an existing lease, as the
yiaddr (and as a result the ciaddr) is set to the offered address in
that case instead of the current ip address.
