Allow HTTP POST requests to be generated when the URI includes a
parameter list. For example:
#!ipxe
params
param mac ${net0/mac}
param uuid ${uuid}
param asset ${asset}
chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php##params

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] Expose CPUID instruction via settings mechanism
Allow CPUID values to be read using the syntax
${cpuid/<register>.<function>}
For example, ${cpuid/2.0x80000001} will give the value of %ecx after
calling CPUID with %eax=0x80000001. Values for <register> are encoded
as %eax=0, %ebx=1, %ecx=2, %edx=3.
The numeric encoding is more sophisticated than described above,
allowing for settings such as the CPU model (obtained by calling CPUID
with %eax=0x80000002-0x80000004 inclusive and concatenating the values
returned in %eax:%ebx:%ecx:%edx). See the source code for details.
The "cpuvendor" and "cpumodel" settings provide easy access to these
more complex CPUID settings.
This functionality is intended to complement the "cpuid" command,
which allows for testing individual CPUID feature bits.

The "inc" command allows the numeric value of a setting to be
incremented, allowing for the construction of simple loops within an
iPXE script.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Allow commands to be placed on the same line as a label. This allows
for improved legibility of loop constructions by incorporating the
loop check condition into the same line as the loop label. For
example, to iterate over network devices using the forthcoming "inc"
command:
set idx:int16 0
:loop isset ${net${idx}/mac} || goto loop_done
echo net${idx} is a ${net${idx}/chip} with MAC ${net${idx}/mac}
inc idx && goto loop
:loop_done

[settings] Eliminate calls to {fetch,store}f_named_setting() in NVO commands
A deliberate side effect of this commit is that the "read" command
will now preserve the type of the setting, if the setting name
contains no type information. For example:
iPXE> set foo:ipv4 192.168.0.1
iPXE> read foo
192.168.0.100
iPXE> show foo
foo:ipv4 = 192.168.0.100
rather than the arguably unexpected behaviour of resetting the type to
"string".

[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.

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.

[ifmgmt] Avoid relying on global variable within ifcommon_exec()
The getopt API defines optind as a global variable. When used by the
"autoboot" command, the payload function passed to ifcommon_exec() may
result in a new iPXE script being executed; the commands therein would
then overwrite the value of optind. On returning, ifcommon_exec()
would continue processing the list of interfaces from an undefined
point.
Fix by using a local variable to hold the index within the list of
interfaces.
