Bug Description

If we know we've run out of dynamic IP addresses, there are a lot of things that will break that we can't prevent (see bug 1393944, but we certainly shouldn't let people commission nodes.

Since this can race, commissioning needs to be able to handle this situation (detecting that no IP address returned from the DHCP server, I guess?) as well.

I dont think we can just stop people from commissioning because the dynamic range is very low. How do we not know that they changed the network the nodes interface was connected to. In that case we might have enough dynamic address to allow the node to commission.

I think the best thing we can do is provide a warning saying that the dynamic range is low.
