What

Addresses #470, albeit quite naively. Building on the existing daemon configuration code

A user would deploy the daemon (using the systemd example):

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/cni/bin/dhcp daemon -timeout 15s

to configure the DHCP client timeout to 15s. The default timeout remains 5s unchanged.

Why

If a user configures their DHCP daemon, because they are in an environment where DHCP responses may take a long time, an IP address will still be allocated for their container

Why not

It is arguable that a simpler solution would be to arbitrarily increase the default timeout to 15s. I can redo this PR to do that instead

Further work

If this is merged I will make a cni.dev PR to document the CLI option, consistent with hostprefix and friends

Eventually the timeout value will become a CLI argument

The default timeout was nestled all the way in the lease constructor

This commit is the first step in making the timeout configurable by
moving it to the DHCPLease constructor

one nit: consider defaulting client timeout to 10s just as https://github.com/d2g/dhcp4client/blob/ef524ad9cb076fe235ecc3c55913ef8445fa35fa/client.go#L39
