ap: Expire client's leases on disconnect

Browse Source 
If netconfig is enabled tell the DHCP server to expire any leases owned
by the client that is disconnecting by using l_dhcp_server_expire_by_mac
to return the IPs to the IP pool.  They're added to the expired list
so they'd only be used if there are no other addresses left in the pool
and can be reactivated if the client comes back before the address is
used by somebody else.

This should ensure that we're always able to offer an address to a new
client as long as there are fewer concurrent clients than addresses in
the configured subnet or IP range.
