Same as for the NTP patch: I think configuring a specific number of v4/v6 entries would be better than trying to hide this behind an automatism.

This change changes the DHCP and DHCPv6 DNS server option update
processing so that both IPv4 and IPv6 servers can be held in the
list of active DNS servers. Previously when a DHCP offer is processed
the list of active DNS servers is replaced. This can lead to failed
DNS resolution when there is a connectivity over one IP protocol
but not over the other. This change improves the possibility of
DNS resolution falling back to a working DNS server.

Tests:
 - On LWIP configured to use 2 DNS server entries. Configure DHCP and
   DHCPv6 to have 0,1 or 2 DNS servers on each protcol. Ensure that
   the list of active DNS servers reflects the network configuration.
   In the case of overflow ensure that one protocol wins based on the
   first processed DHCP response.
 - On a network with intermittent IPv6 connectivity ensure that DNS
   resolution continues to function as DHCP and DHCPv6 updates are
   received.
