[settings] Formalise notion of setting applicability
Expose a function setting_applies() to allow a caller to determine
whether or not a particular setting is applicable to a particular
settings block.
Restrict DHCP-backed settings blocks to accepting only DHCP-based
settings.
Restrict network device settings blocks to accepting only DHCP-based
settings and network device-specific settings such as "mac".

[dhcp] Allow use of custom reallocation functions for DHCP option blocks
Allow functions other than realloc() to be used to reallocate DHCP
option block data, and specify the reallocation function at the time
of calling dhcpopt_init().

[dhcp] Remove redundant length fields in struct dhcp_packet
The max_len field is never used, and the len field is used only by
dhcp_tx(). Remove these two fields, and perform the necessary trivial
calculation in dhcp_tx() instead.

[settings] Apply settings block name in register_settings()
Pass the settings block name as a parameter to register_settings(),
rather than defining it with settings_init() (and then possibly
changing it by directly manipulating settings->name).

Standardise on using ref_init() to initialise an embedded reference
count, to match the coding style used by other embedded objects.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

The DHCP client code now implements only the mechanism of the DHCP and
PXE Boot Server protocols. Boot Server Discovery can be initiated
manually using the "pxebs" command. The menuing code is separated out
into a user-level function on a par with boot_root_path(), and is
entered in preference to a normal filename boot if the DHCP vendor
class is "PXEClient" and the PXE boot menu option exists.
[dhcp] Allow DHCP non-option settings to be cleared
dhcppkt_store() is supposed to clear the setting if passed NULL for the
setting data. In the case of fixed-location fields (e.g. client IP
address), this requires setting the content of the field to all-zeros.
[Settings] Remove assumption that all settings have DHCP tag values
Allow for settings to be described by something other than a DHCP option
tag if desirable. Currently used only for the MAC address setting.
Separate out fake DHCP packet creation code from dhcp.c to fakedhcp.c.
Remove notion of settings from dhcppkt.c.
Rationalise dhcp.c to use settings API only for final registration of the
DHCP options, rather than using {store,fetch}_setting throughout.
