avr: listen for DHCP requests to detect openelec more quickly #3

We could treat openelec as powered on (with a timeout) when a DHCP request is sent out.

Together with PXE boot (which I might set up for running an actual OpenELEC installation on the Steambox), this would speed up state changes by a couple of seconds.

As per http://serverfault.com/a/614863, this requires the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability.

This is no longer necessary as neither OpenELEC nor the steambox are still around :).
