When using BOOTP/DHCP and an address conflict occurres on startup, the device tries to obtain a new address in an endless loop

RCF 5227 section 2.1.1 states:

"A host implementing this specification MUST take precautions to limit
the rate at which it probes for new candidate addresses: if the host
experiences MAX_CONFLICTS or more address conflicts on a given
interface, then the host MUST limit the rate at which it probes for
new addresses on this interface to no more than one attempted new
address per RATE_LIMIT_INTERVAL. "

MAX_CONFLICTS = 10
RATE_LIMIT_INTERVAL = 60 seconds

Currently the stack does not comply with this, since it tries to get a valid IP address in an endless loop.
