package/dhcp: add security options to DHCP server

I was trying to make the ISC dhcp daemon more secure by using the
-user and -group option to let dhcp server run as non-root user.
Unfortunately these options are not available when building ISC dhcp
server with buildroot.
The reason is, that the configure script must be called with the
option --enable-paranoia to activate these options. But this option
is not set in the dhcp.mk file.

To be backward compatible I added a new option to the dhcp's Config.in
file to enable this feature when desired and parse this option in
dhcp.mk.
