dhcp_message_verify_header() only enforced a lower bound on the input
length, so dhcp_message_parse() happily accepted arbitrarily large
buffers. Such inputs could never have been received via UDP and would
later fail in dhcp_message_build() with -E2BIG once the parsed options'
combined size exceeds UDP_PAYLOAD_MAX_SIZE, which the fuzzer surfaced as
an assertion failure.
Reject inputs above UDP_PAYLOAD_MAX_SIZE up front, so the parse stage
mirrors what the wire format can actually carry.
