The DHCPv4 header field "HardwareOpts" is misleading. This fields original name by RFC 2131, which just takes it from RFC 951, is "hops". It has never changed meaning and still reflects number of relay agents it passed, as described in RFC 951 section 8.

This commit changes the name of the field "HardwareOpts" to "RelayHops".
