[45364] Replaced --enable-secs-byteorder with runtime check-secs-byte-order
configure.ac removed --enable-secs-byteorder support includes/dhcpd.h added SV_CHECK_SECS_BYTE_ORDER includes/failover.h added extern int check_secs_byte_order server/dhcpd.c postconf_initialization() - added logic to set check_secs_byte_order server/failover.c load_balance_mine() - replaced conditional comp directives with runtime test of check_secs_byte_order Added release note and updated man page.

+When \fIcheck-secs-byte-order\fR is enabled, the server will check for DHPCv4
+clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly. This field
+should be in network byte order but some clients get it wrong. When this
+parameter is enabled the server will examine the secs field and if it looks
+wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap the bytes. The default
+is disabled. This parameter is only useful when doing load balancing within
+failover. (Formerly, this behavior had to be enabled during compilation
+configuration via --enable-secs-byteorder).
