Most network upper-layer drivers do not implement all three methods
(probe, notify, and remove). Save code by making all methods
optional.

[netdevice] Add vlan_tag() to get the VLAN tag of a network device
The iBFT has a VLAN field that should be filled in. Add the
vlan_tag() function to extract the VLAN tag of a network device.
Since VLAN support is optional, define a weak function that returns 0
when iPXE is built without VLAN support.

[netdevice] Allow link layer to report broadcast/multicast packets via pull()
Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is
multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than
relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage.

Some network cards automatically strip the VLAN header, providing the
VLAN tag via a side channel such as a completion queue entry. These
cards need to be able to report receive completions directly against
the relevant VLAN device.

[vlan] Use "-" instead of "." as separator in VLAN device names
VLAN device names have the form "netX.Y", e.g. "net0.5" for VLAN 5 on
net0. This use of "." conflicts with the use of "." as the
hierarchical separator in settings block names, with the result that
VLAN device settings cannot be accessed by name.
It would be trivial to treat the VLAN device settings as being a child
of the trunk device settings, but this would cause the VLAN device
settings to be applied to the trunk device: for example, setting
"net0.5/ip" would then apply the IP address to both net0.5 and net0.
Fix by changing the VLAN device name to use "-" instead of ".": the
VLAN device "net0.5" is now "net0-5".
