dhcp-server-request: rework when we should reply DHCPNAK

Previously, DHCPNAK was sent only when the client is in INIT-REBOOT
state. But, on selecting or renewing, the request is directed to a
specific server, so we can safely reply with DHCPNAK.

Also, verify existing bound lease even when there is no static lease for
the client.
