[libc] Allow assertions to be globally enabled or disabled
Assertions are enabled for objects built with any debug level
(including an explicit debug level of zero). It is sometimes useful
to be able to enable assertions across all objects; this currently
requires manually hacking include/assert.h.
Allow assertions to be globally enabled by adding ASSERT=1 to the
build command line. For example:
make bin/8086100e.mrom ASSERT=1
Similarly, allow assertions to be globally disabled by adding ASSERT=0
to the build command line. If no ASSERT=... is specified on the
build command line, then only objects mentioned in DEBUG=... will have
assertions enabled (as is currently the case).
Note than globally enabling assertions imposes a relatively heavy
runtime penalty, primarily due to the various sanity checks performed
by list_add(), list_for_each_entry(), etc.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

Don't include __FUNCTION__ in assert() messages; it was causing the
function name to appear within the objects even in non-asserting
builds. (This could be considered a gcc bug.)
Removing __FUNCTION__ from assert() reduces the size of bin/blib.a by
around 2.5%!
