Fabian Bläse aad829a96d fff-ra: Set preferred lifetime smaller than valid lifetime
A recent change (b26399283a) introduced an upper limit for the preferred
and valid lifetimes, so the statically configured addresses on the client
interface do not result in infinite lifetimes.

This upper bound is derived from the dhcp lease time. However, the
preferred lifetime is unexpectedly bound by an explicit configuration
option in recent versions of odhcpd. Due to our short dhcp leasetime,
the default value of this option is higher than the lease time, which
results preferred lifetimes longer than the valid lifetime.

As this behavior is rather unintuitive, a proper fix for it should be
done upstream (see #238). Until then, lower the preferred lifetime
option to the same value as our leasetime.
