This patch enables the helper program to detect event(s) triggered

is a change in lease length or expiry and client-id. This transfers complete
control of leases database to libvirt and suppresses use of the lease database
file (<network-name>.leases). That file will not be created, read, or written.
This is achieved by adding the option --leasefile-ro to dnsmasq and applying
the symlink technique, which helps us map events related to leases with their
corresponding network bridges.
Example:
/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr0.helper -> /home/wani/libvirt/src/libvirt_leaseshelper
/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/virbr3.helper -> /home/wani/libvirt/src/libvirt_leaseshelper
Also, this requires the addition of a new non-lease entry in our custom lease
database: "server-duid". It is required to identify a DHCPv6 server.
Now that dnsmasq doesn't maintain its own leases database, it relies on our
helper program to tell it about previous leases and server duid. Thus, this
patch makes our leases program honor an extra action: "init", in which it
sends
the known info in a particular format to dnsmasq by printing it to stdout.
