[main] Defer "initialising devices" message until initialising devices
Allow the "initialising devices" message to show up on consoles which
require initialisation, by deferring it until after initialise() has
completed.

[monojob] Report ongoing job status as overall return status on timeout

[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.

[interface] Default to calling intf_restart() in response to intf_close()
If an object interface does not provide an intf_close() method, then
default to calling intf_restart(). This allows static objects to
safely ignore intf_close(), without needing to add code solely to
ensure that the interface gets unplugged.

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.

[settings] Eliminate call to fetchf_named_setting() in expand_settings()
Use parse_setting_name() and fetchf_setting_copy() in
expand_settings(), to eliminate the call to fetchf_named_setting().
This change also eliminates the potentially large stack-allocated
buffer in expand_settings().

[settings] Change "not-found" semantics of fetch_setting_copy()
fetch_settings_copy() currently returns success and a NULL data
pointer to indicate a non-existent setting. This is intended to allow
the caller to differentiate between a non-existent setting and an
error in allocating memory for the copy of the setting.
The underlying settings blocks' fetch() methods provide no way to
perform an existence check separate from an attempt to fetch the
setting. A "non-existent setting" therefore means simply a setting
for which an error was encountered when attempting to fetch from every
settings block within the subtree.
Since any underlying error within a settings block (e.g. a GuestRPC
failure when attempting to retrieve a VMware GuestInfo setting) will
produce the effect of a "non-existent setting", it seems somewhat
meaningless to give special treatment to memory allocation errors
within fetch_setting_copy().
Remove the special treatment and simplify the semantics of
fetch_setting_copy() by directly passing through any underlying error
(including non-existence) encountered while fetching the setting.

[settings] Clarify usage of the term "named setting"
There are currently two conflicting usages of the term "named setting"
within iPXE: one refers to predefined settings (such as show up in the
"config" UI), the other refers to settings identified by a name (such
as "net0.dhcp/ip").
Split these usages into the term "predefined setting" and "named
setting" to avoid ambiguity.

[base16] Ensure base16_encode() always terminates its result string
base16_encode() will fail to generate a terminating NUL if the length
of the raw data is zero, since the loop calling sprintf() will never
execute.

[settings] Make "netX" settings block function as a symbolic link
Add a facility for settings blocks to act as symbolic links to other
settings blocks, and reimplement the "netX" virtual settings block
using this facility.
The primary advantage of this approach is that unscoped settings such
as ${mac} and ${filename} will now reflect the settings obtained from
the most recently opened network device: in most cases, this will mean
the settings obtained from the most recent DHCP attempt. This should
improve conformance to the principle of least astonishment.

Use hex_decode() to parse "hex" and "hexhyp" settings. Note that this

sign.)

[settings] Expose build architecture and platform via settings
Expose the build architecture (e.g. "i386" or "x86_64") via
${buildarch} and the firmware platform (e.g. "pcbios" or "efi") via
${platform}. These settings directly expose the ARCH and PLATFORM
variables from the Makefile.
Note that the build architecture reflects the architecture for which
iPXE was compiled, not the architecture on which iPXE is currently
running. The "cpuid" command can be used to detect a 64-bit system at
runtime.
