config: respect ignore uci option
The odhcpd documentation currently implies that "option ignore 1" in a section
of type "dhcp" will disable any services on the referenced interface while the
code actually ignores the setting when initializing referenced interfaces.
This commonly leads to situations where users think that "option disabled"
will prevent any server activity on a given interface while in reality odhcpd
effectively acts as rogue DHCPv6 server in its default configuration.
To fully inhibit any activity, one has to specify both "option ignore 1" as
well as "option ra disabled", "option ndp disabled" and
"option dhcpv6 disabled" which is highly counter intuitive at best.
A previous commit (5f425ed Respect interface "ignore" settings as documented.)
attempted to address the problem by observing the value of i->ignore instead
of unconditionally enabling all protocols but broke the ability to use DHCPv6
relay mode while having DHCPv4 disabled.
This patch changes ...
- the enabling of services on an interface to use the value of the ignore
option as default choice instead of hardcoding "true"
- the options "ra", "ndp", "dhcpv4" and "dhcpv6" to take precedence over the
default "ignore" state to allow selectively enabling services on ignored
interfaces
- the README to clarify the fact that "ra", "ndp", "dhcpv4" and "dhcpv6" can
now override "option ignore"
