dhcp option 252 Proxy autodiscovery

[wlanmac]

Hi Michael,

Yes, a segfault when not defined would be problematic. 

I have been resisting adding individual DHCP option support into chilli
- there are so many of them possible. Instead, you can use either an
external DHCP service or you can add ChilliSpot-DHCP-Options attributes
(containing DHCP formatted options as content) in the reply packets
during MAC authentication. With that said, perhaps WPAD is special.
Though, it might be nicer to have chilli serve up the wpad file itself
(to take care of the required mime-type and everything).
