First of all, from the naming of n_dhcp4_incoming_query_u32() it is
confusing to coerce 0xFFFFFFFF to zero. It should just return the
plain value.
Also note that n_dhcp4_incoming_query_u32() only has three callers:
n_dhcp4_incoming_query_lifetime(), n_dhcp4_incoming_query_t1() and
n_dhcp4_incoming_query_t2().
Looking further, those three functions only have one caller:
n_dhcp4_incoming_get_timeouts(). Note how the code there already tries
to handle UINT32_MAX and interprets it as infinity (UINT64_MAX).
But as it was, UINT32_MAX never actually was returned.
It seems that RFC [1] does not specially define the meanings of
0xFFFFFFFF and 0. It sounds reasonable to assume that 0 just means
0 lifetime, and 0xFFFFFFFF means infinity. On the other hand, compare
this to systemd's code [2], which coerces 0 to 1. This does not seem
right to me though. Note how systemd returns 0xFFFFFFFF as-is.
Drop the special handling of 0xFFFFFFFF from n_dhcp4_incoming_query_u32().
It now just returns the plain value and it's up to n_dhcp4_incoming_get_timeouts()
to make sense of that. This will fix behavior, so that 0xFFFFFFFF will be
reported as infinity, and not as zero.
