Address order: sequential, reverse or random, per subnet and pool

- Which never-used pool address a new client gets: sequential (the
  lowest, as before), reverse or random, in the settings, a subnet or
  a single pool (FIRST-LAST:ORDER). When no never-used address is left,
  the one free the longest, whatever the order; returning clients keep
  theirs.
- A subnet's pools are used in the order listed, or one at random
  weighted by its never-used addresses. Pools now keep the order they
  are given in (no more sorting by address).
- CLI --address-order and --pool-order; --add-pool of an existing range
  changes its order in place. Web UI: per-pool order and a move-up
  button, pool and address order on the subnet and settings pages.
- Kea's allocator: random is imported. Schema migration 5.
