The DHCPv4 server doesn't need CAP_NET_ADMIN if always broadcasting.

Browse Source 
CAP_NET_ADMIN is needed in the DHCPv4 code to place entries into
the ARP cache. If it's configured to unconditionally broadcast
to unconfigured clients, it never touches the ARP cache and
doesn't need CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Thanks to Martin Ivičič <max.enhanced@gmail.com> for prompting this.
