[rng] Use fixed-point calculations for min-entropy quantities
We currently perform various min-entropy calculations using build-time
floating-point arithmetic. No floating-point code ends up in the
final binary, since the results are eventually converted to integers
and asserted to be compile-time constants.
Though this mechanism is undoubtedly cute, it inhibits us from using
"-mno-sse" to prevent the use of SSE registers by the compiler.
Fix by using fixed-point arithmetic instead.

ANS X9.82 specifies that the start-up tests shall consist of at least
one full cycle of the continuous tests.

[rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Source of Entropy Input
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI).
One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input,
condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call.
This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need
to allocate potentially very large buffers.
(Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input"
are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.)
Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at
compilation time.

Cryptographic random number generation requires an entropy source,
which is used as the input to a Deterministic Random Bit Generator
(DRBG).
iPXE does not currently have a suitable entropy source. Provide a
dummy source to allow the DRBG code to be implemented.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

Strip down i386 PCI configuration space I/O to the bare minimum. A
typical build will now include 880 bytes of PCI support code, compared to
2327 bytes in Etherboot 5.4.
(There is a slight cost of around 5 extra bytes per access to a
non-constant config space address; this should be an overall win.
Driver-specific accesses will usually be to constant addresses, for
which there is no additional cost.)
