Congestion handling - add ability to enable/disable packet-queueing

Thomas Markwalder requested to merge 260-follow-up-from-wip-resolve-congestion-handling-add-receive-thread-and-packet-queue into master

Modify the libdhcp++ such that it supports DHCPvX packet reception either in same thread directly (as in Kea 1.4 and prior) or via the packet-queue. The default mode should be single-threaded (for now). The general idea is for IfaceMgr to select between two versions of receiveX based on whether there is a receiver thread:

Pkt4Ptr IfaceMgr::receive4(uint32_t timeout_sec, uint32_t timeout_usec /* = 0 */) {
    if (receiver_thread_) {
        return (receive4Indirect(timeout_sec, timeout_usec));
    }

    return (receive4Direct(timeout_sec, timeout_usec));
}

We would also want to add a enable parameter to the dhcp-queue-control.
