I have just noticed an issue in my environment with DHCP/IPv4LL.  I'm
using an ethernet interface plugged directly into a router switch
port, and every time my router reboots, I end up getting an IPv4LL
address.  I have to physically unplug the cable and re-plug before I
can get a DHCP address.  This appears to be caused by the router
turning on the switch ports too soon before the DHCP server is
started.  I can also verify this issue by plugging the ethernet cable
into an isolated switch (with no DHCP server), and then plugging that
switch into the router later.  In both cases I am stuck with the
IPv4LL address.

So, what *should* happen here?  Seems to me that connman should
continue sending occasional DHCP discover requests even while it has
an IPv4LL address, so that it can switch over once a DHCP server comes
online.
