[iobuf] Improve robustness of I/O buffer allocation
Guard against various corner cases (such as zero-length buffers, zero
alignments, and integer overflow when rounding up allocation lengths
and alignments) and ensure that the struct io_buffer is correctly
aligned even when the caller requests a non-zero alignment for the I/O
buffer itself.
Add self-tests to verify that the resulting alignments and lengths are
correct for a range of allocations.

[iobuf] Add iob_split() to split an I/O buffer into portions
RNDIS devices may provide multiple packets encapsulated into a single
message. Provide an API to allow the RNDIS driver to split an I/O
buffer into smaller portions.
The current implementation will always copy the underlying data,
rather than splitting the buffer in situ.

[tls] Concatenate received non-data records before processing
Allow non-data records to be split across multiple received I/O
buffers, to accommodate large certificate chains.

[iobuf] Allocate I/O buffer descriptor separately to conserve aligned memory
I/O buffers are allocated on aligned boundaries. The I/O buffer
descriptor (the struct io_buffer) is currently attached to the end of
the I/O buffer. When the size of the buffer is close to its
alignment, this can waste large amounts of aligned memory.
For example, a network card using 2048-byte receive buffers will end
up allocating 2072 bytes on a 2048-byte boundary. This effectively
wastes 50% of the available memory.
Improve the situation by allocating the descriptor separately from the
main I/O buffer if inline allocation would cause the total allocated
size to cross the alignment boundary.

[iobuf] Relax alignment requirement for small I/O buffers
iPXE currently aligns all I/O buffers on a 2kB boundary. This is
overkill for transmitted packets, which are typically much smaller
than 2kB.
Align I/O buffers on their own size. This reduces the alignment
requirement for small buffers, while preserving the guarantee that I/O
buffers will never cross boundaries that might cause problems for some
DMA engines.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

Network API now allows for multiple network devices (although the
implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on
the efficiency of static allocation).
Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers.
Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network
devices.
Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each
other.
