net: bootp: Add environment variable for timeout period
There is currently one config option (CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT) that is available to tune the retries of the network stack. Unfortunately, it is global to all protocols, and the value is interpreted differently in all of them. Add a new environment variable that directly sets the retry period for BOOTP timeouts. If this new value is not set, the period is still derived from the default number of retries, or from CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT if defined. When both the new variable is set and CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT is defined, the variable has precedence. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Messier <amessier@tycoint.com>
