[build] Fix use of inline assembly on GCC 8 ARM64 builds
Commit 1a7746603 ("[build] Fix use of inline assembly on GCC 4.8 ARM64
builds") switched from using "%c0" to "%a0" in order to avoid an
"invalid operand prefix" error on the ARM64 version of GCC 4.8.
It appears that the ARM64 version of GCC 8 now produces an "invalid
address mode" error for the "%a0" form, but is happy with the original
"%c0" form.
Switch back to using the "%c0" form, on the assumption that the
requirement for "%a0" was a temporary aberration.

[build] Fix use of inline assembly on GCC 4.8 ARM64 builds
The inline assembly used in include/errno.h to generate the einfo
blocks requires the ability to generate an immediate constant with no
immediate-value prefix (such as the dollar sign for x86 assembly).
We currently achieve this via the undocumented "%c0" form of operand.
This causes an "invalid operand prefix" error on GCC 4.8 for ARM64
builds.
Fix by switching to the equally undocumented "%a0" form of operand,
which appears to work correctly on all tested versions of GCC.

[build] Allow assembler section type character to vary by architecture
On some architectures (such as ARM) the "@" character is used as a
comment delimiter. A section type argument such as "@progbits"
therefore becomes "%progbits".
This is further complicated by the fact that the "%" character has
special meaning for inline assembly when input or output operands are
used, in which cases "@progbits" becomes "%%progbits".
Allow the section type character(s) to be defined via Makefile
variables.

[libc] Redefine low 8 bits of error code as "platform error code"
The low 8 bits of an iPXE error code are currently defined as the
closest equivalent PXE error code. Generalise this scheme to
platforms other than PC-BIOS by extending this definition to "closest
equivalent platform error code". This allows for the possibility of
returning meaningful errors via EFI APIs.

[libc] Ensure that error numbers from EUNIQ() have the correct type
Error numbers are signed ints. EUNIQ() should not allow implicit type
promotion based on the supplied error diambiguator, because this
causes problems with statements such as
rc = ( condition ? -EUNIQ ( EBASE, disambiguator ) : -EBASE );

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

[PXEXT] Change the PXE return code for EWOULDBLOCK
Change the PXE return code for EWOULDBLOCK from PXENV_STATUS_FAILURE
to PXENV_STATUS_TFTP_OPEN. This code is only used by the FILE_READ
PXEXT call, and is necessary to distinguish "error" from "no data" in
that call.
(The only other nonblocking call is UDP_READ, where the caller doesn't
care about the distinction, however, gPXE doesn't use EWOULDBLOCK
internally to represent this condition in that code.)
Gave asynchronous operations approximate POSIX signal semantics. This
will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to
properly support DNS. (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect
to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't
just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial
URL).
Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others
up asap.
Distinguish between ENOMEM (as representing a lack of internal memory
as allocated by malloc()) versus all other errors, in particular
ENOBUFS (representing a lack of external buffer space, e.g. in a
device's TX queue or a user buffer).
Add sketch code to reassemble a DHCP packet from our internal "everything
is a DHCP option" data structures.
We need this code in order to be able to return a DHCP packet to a PXE NBP
which reflects options from our multiple sources (e.g. NVS and DHCP
server). This is expensive, but necessary. Having paid this cost, we may
as well try to use the same code to generate our DHCP request packets,
since the process is similar.
I want to get to the point where any header in include/ reflects a
standard user-level header (e.g. a POSIX header), while everything that's
specific to gPXE lives in include/gpxe/. Headers that reflect a Linux
header (e.g. if_ether.h) should also be in include/gpxe/, with the same
name as the Linux header and, preferably, the same names used for the
definitions.
Added errno, strerror and the "%m" printf metacharacter. These will allow
us to return proper PXE status codes, while simultaneously allowing for
more consistent error reporting (complete with verbose error messages as a
build-time option).
