dhclient: Improve server and filename validation
* Don't iterate over each string three times; once is enough.
* Reject control characters (anything below space) in addition to the
double quote and backslash.
* If an unsafe character is encountered, discard the string instead of
rejecting the entire lease.
* If backslashes are encountered in the file name option, convert them
to forward slashes instead of rejecting the option.
* Tweak the warning messages a bit. Looking through the rest of the
code, it seems to me that notes generally end with a period while
warnings generally don't.
