Previously, a permanent error would not be persisted for future
invocations of ObtainOrRenew. In practice, the daemon immediately
exited, so this made no difference.
If upstreams were reordered between start of an upstream request and its
conclusion, the move-to-front operation would likely incorrectly reorder
upstreams: duplicate one and remove another. Instead, we abandon the
move-to-front operation if that was about to happen.
Previously SetHostname could operate on an expired lease, or even on a
lease for a different hwaddr, if the lease for the correct hwaddr
expired and the same lease ID was given away to someone else.
That's though mostly a theoretical concern, given the actual usage of
SetHostname and the time scales involved.
