Add NTP and DHCP L7 dissectors
NTP decodes the fixed header's version/mode/stratum - the timestamp fields need NTP era/fraction fixed-point math to render meaningfully and add nothing a one-line summary needs, so they're left alone. DHCP decodes RFC 2131's BOOTP fixed header + magic cookie, then walks the TLV options bounds-safely for option 53 (message type), plus yiaddr when the server has assigned one. It's the first dissector needing two well-known ports (67 server, 68 client) rather than one; registering at just 67 still matches both directions since l7_summarize() already falls back from dst_port to src_port. Verified live: NTP against a real pool.ntp.org query on wlp1s0 (a genuine stratum-2 reply came back). DHCP over loopback with a synthetic-but-wire-format-real DISCOVER/OFFER exchange rather than a real lease renewal, to avoid disrupting this machine's actual network state - caught a test-setup mistake in the process (both packets sent from the same ephemeral port instead of the OFFER actually originating from port 67), not a dissector bug.
