[libvirt] nwfilter: Also pick IP address from a DHCP ACK message

The local DHCP server on virtbr0 sends DHCP ACK messages when a VM is
started and requests an IP address while the initial DHCP lease on the
VM's MAC address hasn't expired. So, also pick the IP address of the VM
if that type of message is seen.
Thanks to Gerhard Stenzel for providing a test case for this.
