size. CYGNUM_HAL_STACK_SIZE_TYPICAL is not a CDL variable, it is a
#define, so we need to ensure that the compiler evaluates the
expression, not the CDL library

and unset_tag() to handle TAG_PAD bytes properly. Also updated
set_fixed_tag() and set_variable_tag() to permit setting options that
already exist, but are a different size, rather than asserting.
This corrects problems interacting with mis-behaving DHCP servers
that reply with modified versions of a DHCP option sent by the eCos
client, such as TAG_HOST_NAME.

addresses.
