This series adds a --dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE command-line option to
inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies, complementing the existing
--dhcp-opt support for DHCPv4.
The primary use case is UEFI HTTP Boot, which requires Vendor Class
(option 16) with the correct enterprise-number + length-prefixed wire
encoding per RFC 8415 Section 21.16, and Boot File URL (option 59).
Value formats are determined automatically from the option code via a
type table. Supported types include plain strings, IPv6
addresses (single and list), 8/16/32-bit integers, vendor class
(ENTERPRISE:DATA), and length-prefixed string lists.

Introduce the --dhcpv6-opt flag that allows setting arbitrary DHCPv6
options from command-line in the form [--dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE].
Add a type lookup table mapping option codes to value types (IPv6,
IPv6 list, integer, string, vendor class, length-prefixed string
list) and dhcpv6_opt_parse() to convert CLI strings to binary wire
format. If the same option code is given more than once, the
last value wins.

v3:
- Use parse_unsigned(), parse_literal(), parse_eoi() from parse.c
instead of manual strtoul()/errno/strchr() in dhcpv6_opt_parse()
for UINT and VENDOR_CLASS cases.
- Store options as pre-parsed binary in a static array indexed by
option code, instead of storing raw strings.
- Add dhcpv6_opt_to_str() to render binary option values back to
printable strings for startup logging in conf_print().
v2:
- Renamed custom_v6opts to dhcpv6_opts, MAX_CUSTOM_DHCPV6_OPTS
to MAX_DHCPV6_OPTS.
- Dropped val/len from ctx struct.
- Moved dhcpv6_add_option() to conf.c as static
conf_dhcpv6_option().
- Made dhcpv6_opt_parse() non-static, declared in dhcpv6.h
- Omitted explicit [256] from dhcpv6_opt_types[].
- Moved chunk declaration into while block.
- Removed redundant !slen check in DHCPV6_OPT_STR case.
- All errors in dhcpv6_opt_parse() return -1, removed die()
calls.

Append user-specified options from --dhcpv6-opt to DHCPv6 reply
messages. Options are read from the pre-parsed static storage
populated by dhcpv6_set_opt() at startup, and skipped with a
debug message if they exceed the available space.

v3:
- rename dhcpv6_custom_opts_fill() to dhcpv6_user_opts_fill().
- Iterate directly over the pre-parsed binary dhcpv6_user_opts[]
array instead of re-parsing string values at reply time.
v2:
- Updated dhcpv6_custom_opts_fill() to parse str at reply time
using dhcpv6_opt_parse() instead of copying cached val/len.

dhcpv6_opt_code is unsigned, so "dhcpv6_opt_code < 1" means "dhcpv6_opt_code == 0".
You should check also dhcpv6_opt_code < UINT16_MAX because dhcpv6_set_opt() takes an
uint16_t for code, and it can be silently truncated:
if (dhcpv6_opt_code == 0 || dhcpv6_opt_code > UINT16_MAX) {
die("Invalid DHCPv6 option code: %s", optarg);

I think they could be alignment problem here as buf is uint8_t *.
You should use something like:
uint16_t v16 = htons(val); memcpy(buf, &v16, sizeof(v16));
and
uint32_t v32 = htonl(val); memcpy(buf, &v32, sizeof(v32));

off by one, should be "if (slen > buf_len)" (as the option string is not NUL terminated).

Why to add sizeof(uint32_t) + sizeof(uint16_t)?
For option 16, it's length of vendor-class-data/opaque-data (so without the length of
enterprise-number and vendor-class-len)

So I guess this is "enterprise-number"

For option 16, it's vendor-class-len, but for option 17 we have here sub-opt-code, so it
doesn't work. I think you cannot use DHCPV6_OPT_VENDOR_CLASS with option 17.

I think buf from conf_print() is too small to contains a list of in6 addr (char
buf[INANY_ADDRSTRLEN]), it can contain only one.

It's simpler to write:
if (off) {
if (off + 1 >= (int)buf_len)
return NULL;
buf[off++] = ',';
}

Return error of inet_ntop() is silently ignored, if buf - off is not big enough, nothing
is written.
if (!inet_ntop(AF_INET6, dhcpv6_user_opts[code].val + i, buf + off, buf_len - off))
return NULL;

off += strlen(buff + off) is more efficient.

As previously:
if (off) {
if (off + 1 >= (int)buf_len)
return NULL;
buf[off++] = ',';
}
> + off += snprintf(buf + off, buf_len - off, "%.*s",

we should check buf_len is big enough to store slen.
if (off + slen >= (int)buf_len)
return NULL;
and as we have the size, mempcpy() seems to be a better choice than snprintf() (and we
have checked it fits in buf):
memcpy(buf + off, dhcpv6_user_opts[code].val + i, slen);
off += slen;
buf[off] = '\0';
