[DHCP] Clean up of the dhcpd.leases file

[the Radio]

Deleting the leases file erases the records concerning the dynamic 
association between mac addresses and IP addresses. Therefore, the 
server may give already allocated addresses when restarted.
Hopefully, the server (and more and more hosts do the same) checks on 
the network if the IP address is already in use. BUT, if it gets no 
answer (the host may be temporarily inaccessible), a conflict MAY arise.

Probability is low, but not null.
