Add support for DNSMASQ DHCP lease files

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Tried using the dhcp plugin against the dnsmasq.leases file and it doesn't work.

Describe the solution you'd like

DNSmasq uses a different lease file format than DHCPd so I don't believe NetAlertX can interpret it.

Can you please add support for DNSmasq format?

The file is in the following format:

[Lease expiry time] [mac address] [ip address] [hostname] [client id, if known]

e.g.

1715932537 5c:87:9c:cf:97:02 192.168.1.115 ryans-laptop 01:5c:87:9c:cf:97:02

Describe alternatives you've considered

This should be available in the next release. If you can, please have a look at the netalertx-dev docker image, in about 15 minutes (or after the last action finishes) from now.

map your dnsmasq dhcp.leases file into a path that contains the string dnsmasq

It would be great if you could test this (backup everything first or use a new container) on your end by switching to the above image and letting me know if the issue was resolved.

Thanks in advance,
