Summary

Document that ntpc can use NTP servers learned from DHCP option 42 when DHCP client support is enabled.

The update adds the DHCP-based behavior to the feature overview,
configuration notes, usage notes, and a dedicated short section in the ntpc documentation page.

Provides documentation for apache/nuttx-apps#3451.

    documentation to match the DHCP option 42 support added in
