dhcp: fix sd_dhcp_client_set_client_id() for infiniband addresses

Browse Source 
Infiniband addresses are 20 bytes (INFINIBAND_ALEN), but only the last
8 bytes are suitable for putting into the client-id.

This bug had no effect for networkd, because sd_dhcp_client_set_client_id()
has only one caller which always uses ARPHRD_ETHER type.

I was unable to find good references for why this is correct ([1]). Fedora/RHEL
has patches for ISC dhclient that also only use the last 8 bytes ([2], [3]).
RFC 4390 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) over InfiniBand) [4] does
not discuss the content of the client-id either.
