    bridge: Add --dhcp-no-override option to dnsmasq
    
    --dhcp-no-override description from dnsmasq man page:
    
          Disable  re-use  of  the  DHCP servername and filename fields as
          extra option space. If it can, dnsmasq moves the boot server and
          filename  information  (from  dhcp-boot)  out of their dedicated
          fields into DHCP options. This make extra space available in the
          DHCP  packet  for options but can, rarely, confuse old or broken
          clients. This flag forces "simple and safe" behaviour  to  avoid
          problems in such a case.
    
    It seems some virtual network card ROMs are this old/buggy so let's add
    --dhcp-no-override as a workaround for them. We don't use extra DHCP
    options so this should be safe. The option was added in dnsmasq-2.41,
    which becomes the minimum required version.

Fixed by a rebase to libvirt-0.8.6

Verified it on RHEL6_x86_64 Server and it passed:
libvirt-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-92.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.128.el6.x86_64

The steps are as follows:
1. #yum -y install syslinux
   #mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot
   #cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /var/lib/tftpboot
2, dowload vmlinuz and initrd.img under the /var/lib/tftpboot folder
 example: http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL6.0-Beta1-4.1/6.0/Server/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/
3, mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
4, create a file name default under the pxelinux.cfg folder
5, edit the file with the contents
DISPLAY boot.txt
DEFAULT rhel6
LABEL rhel6
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd=initrd.img

PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0
6, create a new virtual network , the xml description is as follows

<network>
  <name>netboot</name>
  <bridge name="virbr1" stp='off' delay='1'/>
  <forward/>
  <ip address="192.168.10.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <tftp root="/var/lib/tftpboot" />
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.10.2" end="192.168.10.254" />
      <bootp file="pxelinux.0" />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>
7, using virt-manager to create a new vm in pxe network install way, and choose netboot virtual network as its network
After step 7, the vm is installed successfully.

retest with libvirt-0.8.7-6.el6.x86_64 PASSED . So could set bug status to VERIFIED


The steps are as follows:
1. #yum -y install syslinux
   #mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot
   #cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /var/lib/tftpboot
