At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

[legal] Relicense files under GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDL
These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl
since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as
the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual
knowledge of the code's origin).

Some of the C library string functions have an unknown provenance.
Reimplement all such functions to avoid potential licensing
uncertainty.
Remove the inline-assembler versions of strlen(), memswap(), and
strncmp(); these save a minimal amount of space (around 40 bytes in
total) and are not performance-critical.

[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.

[ping] Allow termination after a specified number of packets
Add the "-c <count>" option to the "ping" command, allowing for
automatic termination after a specified number of packets.
When a number of packets is specified:
- if a serious error (i.e. length mismatch or content mismatch)
occurs, then the ping will be immediately terminated with the relevant
status code;
- if at least one response is received successfully, and all errors
are non-serious (i.e. timeouts or out-of-sequence responses), then
the ping will be terminated after the final response (or timeout)
with a success status;
- if no responses are received successfully, then the ping will be
terminated after the final timeout with ETIMEDOUT.
If no number of packets is specified, then the ping will continue
until manually interrupted.

[console] Fix display of characters with top bit set
Inhibit implicit sign-padding of characters with the top bit set
(e.g. accented characters), which confuses the mucurses library by
colliding with the bits used to store character attributes and
colours.

[image] Add "--timeout" parameter to image downloading commands
iPXE will detect timeout failures in several situations: network
link-up, DHCP, TCP connection attempts, unacknowledged TCP data, etc.
This does not cover all possible circumstances. For example, if a
connection to a web server is successfully established and the web
server acknowledges the HTTP request but never sends any data in
response, then no timeout will be triggered. There is no timeout
defined within the HTTP specifications, and the underlying TCP
connection will not generate a timeout since it has no way to know
that the HTTP layer is expecting to receive data from the server.
Add a "--timeout" parameter to "imgfetch", "chain", etc. If no
progress is made (i.e. no data is downloaded) within the timeout
period, then the download will be aborted.

[cmdline] Rename "console" command's --bpp option to --depth
Rename the "--bpp" option to "--depth", to free up the single-letter
option "-b" for "--bottom" in preparation for adding margin support.
This does not break backwards compatibility with documented features,
since the "console" command has not yet been documented.

[console] Allow consoles to update the recorded console size
Provide a mechanism for consoles to update the recorded console width
and height, and use this width and height to provide the curses COLS
and LINES variables.
We choose not to use ANSI escape sequences to obtain the width and
height, for two reasons:
- iPXE's model is that all output is sent to all consoles; we could
therefore end up with multiple consoles reporting conflicting widths
and heights
- when a serial console is in use, we probably don't want to resize
the output shown on the BIOS console to match the size of the serial
console, since it's likely that the serial console is in use only
for debugging.

[settings] Allow for multiple definitions of each predefined setting
Allow for multiple setting definitions with the same name but
different scopes and tags. For example, allow for a "filename"
setting with default scope and tag value 67 (for DHCPv4) and a
corresponding "filename" setting with IPv6 scope and tag value 59 (for
DHCPv6).

[settings] Explicitly separate the concept of a completed fetched setting
The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the
definition of the specified setting (e.g. to add missing type
information). Clean up this interface by requiring callers to provide
an explicit buffer to contain the completed definition of the fetched
setting, if required.

Parsing a timeout value (specified in milliseconds) into an internal
timeout value measured in timer ticks is a common operation. Provide
a parse_timeout() value to carry out this conversion automatically.
