We oftem save parsed DHCP options into a file, or expose them through DBus or Varlink. In such case, control characters or non-UTF8 characters may cause many kind of unexpected errors. In general, a DHCP message that have string options with spurious characters is mostly malformed or broken. Let's refuse them. This also makes dhcp_option_parse_string() do not free 'ret' argument, to follow our usual coding style. So, callers now need to free the pre-exisitng string if necessary. Fixes #31708.
