[build] Use PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME for end-user visible strings
Use PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME instead of a hardcoded "iPXE" for strings which
are typically shown in the user interface.
Note that this only allows for customisation of the user interface.
Where the "iPXE" string serves a technical purpose (such as in the
HTTP User-Agent), the string cannot be customised.

[parseopt] Refer to online documentation for command help
The online documentation (e.g. http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifopen), though not
yet complete, is far more comprehensive than could be provided within
the iPXE binary. Save around 200 bytes (compressed) by removing the
command descriptions from the interactive help, and instead referring
users directly to the web page describing the relevant command.

[cmdline] Match user expectations for &&, ||, goto, and exit
The && and || operators should be left-associative, since that is how
they are treated in most other languages (including C and Unix
shell). For example, in the command:
dhcp net0 && goto dhcp_ok || echo No DHCP on net0
if the "dhcp net0" fails then the "echo" should be executed.
After an "exit" or a successful "goto", further commands on the same
line should never be executed. For example:
goto somewhere && echo This should never be printed
exit 0 && echo This should never be printed
exit 1 && echo This should never be printed
An "exit" should cause the current shell or script to terminate and
return the specified exit status to its caller. For example:
chain test.ipxe && echo Success || echo Failure
[in test.ipxe]
#!ipxe
exit 0
should echo "Success".

The "shell" command allows a script to enter an interactive shell,
which is potentially useful for troubleshooting.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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.

[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables
Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.
Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.
Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros. This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
