DHCPv6 improvements for readability

Having started to play with DHCPv6, I found the tcpdump printout of
DHCPv6 options,

http://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6-parameters/dhcpv6-parameters.xhtml#dhcpv6-parameters-2

could be improved. Below are my suggested improvements, relative to
tcpdump-4.1.1.

The change to the "NTP-server" option is just for constistency with the
rest. The "DNS-search-list" could also be called "Domain search list"
as it is in the IANA documentation.
