[job] Allow job_progress() to return an ongoing job status code, if known
Some background jobs have a meaningful ongoing status code (e.g. the
current link status for a job waiting for a network link to come up).
Allow this to be exposed via the job_progress() method.

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.

[pxe] Always retrieve cached DHCPACK and apply to relevant network device
When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the
underlying PXE stack, and apply it as the original contents of the
"net<X>.dhcp" settings block. This allows cached DHCP settings to be
used for any chainloaded iPXE binary (not just undionly.kkpxe).
This change eliminates the undocumented "use-cached" setting. Issuing
the "dhcp" command will now always result in a fresh DHCP request.

Add generic pinger mechanism (analogous to the generic downloader
mechanism) which opens a ping socket, transmits ping requests, and
passes information about ping replies to a callback function.

Merge common functionality between IPv4 and IPv6 ICMP echo handling,
and add support for transmitting ICMP echo requests and delivering
ICMP echo replies to a (not yet implemented) ping_rx() function.

The path MTU is currently hardcoded to 1460 bytes, which fails to
allow space for TCP options. Sending a maximum-sized datagram (which
is viable when using HTTP POST) will therefore fail since the Ethernet
MTU will be exceeded.
Reduce the hardcoded path MTU to produce a maximum datagram of 1280
bytes, which is the size required of data link layers by IPv6. It is
a reasonable assumption that all intermediary data link layers will be
able to convey this packet without fragmentation, even for IPv4.
Note that this reduction has a minimal impact upon download
throughput, since it affects only the transmit data path.

Replace the existing partially-implemented IPv6 stack with a fresh
implementation.
This implementation is not yet complete. The IPv6 transmit and
receive datapaths are functional (including fragment reassembly and
parsing of arbitrary extension headers). NDP neighbour solicitations
and advertisements are supported. ICMPv6 echo is supported.
At present, only link-local addresses may be used, and there is no way
to specify an IPv6 address as part of a URI (either directly or via
a DNS lookup).

[neighbour] Generalise concept of neighbour discovery
Split the protocol-independent portions of arp.c into a separate file
neighbour.c, to allow for sharing of functionality between IPv4+ARP
and IPv6+NDP.

IPv6 link-local socket addresses require some way to specify a local
network device. We cannot simply use a pointer to the network device,
since a struct sockaddr_in6 may be long-lived and has no way to hold a
reference to the network device.
Using a network device index allows a socket address to cleanly refer
to a network device without worrying about whether or not that device
continues to exist.

HTTP POST requires the ability to associate a parameter list with a
URI. There is no standardised syntax for this. Use a non-standard
URI syntax to incorporate the specification of a parameter list within
a URI:
URI = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ]
[ "#" fragment ] [ "##params" [ "=" paramsName ] ]
e.g.
http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php##paramshttp://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php##params=mylist

[settings] Expose memory map via settings mechanism
Allow memory map entries to be read using the syntax
${memmap/<region>.<properties>.<scale>}
where <region> is the index of the memory region, <properties> is a
bitmask where bit 0 represents the start address and bit 1 represents
the length (allowing the end address to be encoded by having both bits
0 and 1 set), and <scale> is the number of bits by which to shift the
result.
This allows for several values of interest to be encoded. For
example:
${memmap/<region>.1.0:hexraw} # 64-bit start address of <region>
${memmap/<region>.2.0:hexraw} # 64-bit length of <region>, in bytes
${memmap/<region>.3.0:hexraw} # 64-bit end address of <region>
${memmap/<region>.2.10:int32} # Length of <region>, in kB
${memmap/<region>.2.20:int32} # Length of <region>, in MB
The numeric encoding is slightly more sophisticated than described
here, allowing a single encoding to cover multiple regions. (See the
source code for details.) The primary use case for this feature is to
provide the total system memory size (in MB) via the "memsize"
predefined setting.

Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols
defined by FILE_LICENCE(), meaning that the resulting licence
determination is incomplete.
We must use the KEEP() directive in the linker script to force the
linker to not discard the licence symbols. Using KEEP(*(COMMON))
would be undesirable, since there are some symbols in COMMON which we
may wish to discard.
Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by
FILE_LICENCE()) into a special ".provided" section, which we then mark
with KEEP(). All such symbols are zero-length, so there is no cost in
terms of the final binary size.
Since the symbols are no longer in COMMON, the linker will reject
symbols with the same name coming from multiple objects. We therefore
append the object name to the licence symbol, to ensure that it is
unique.
