[crypto] Support SHA-{224,384,512} in X.509 certificates
Add support for SHA-224, SHA-384, and SHA-512 as digest algorithms in
X.509 certificates, and allow the choice of public-key, cipher, and
digest algorithms to be configured at build time via config/crypto.h.

Add a named configuration for qemu, based on the config.ipxe.general.h
file taken from the current qemu repository and enabling the option to
work around the missing EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE does not currently provide EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL: this
causes failures when chainloading bootloaders such as shim.efi which
assume that this protocol will be present.
Provide the ability to work around these problems via the build
configuration option EFI_DOWNGRADE_UX. If this option is enabled,
then we will not install our usual EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL
implementation, thereby allowing the platform firmware to install its
own EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL implementation on top of our
EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOL handle.
A somewhat major side-effect of this workaround is that almost all
iPXE features will be disabled.
This configuration option will be removed in future when support for
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL is added.

[stp] Add support for detecting Spanning Tree Protocol non-forwarding ports
A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.

[int13con] Add basic ability to log to a local disk via INT 13
Several popular public cloud providers do not provide any sensible
mechanism for obtaining debug output from an OS which is failing to
boot. For example, Amazon EC2 provides the "Get System Log" facility,
which occasionally deigns to report a random subset of the characters
emitted via the VM's serial port, but usually returns only a blank
screen. (Amazingly, this is still superior to the debugging
facilities provided by Azure.)
Work around these shortcomings by adding a console type which sends
output to a magically detected raw disk partition, and including such
a partition within any iPXE .usb-format image.
To use this facility:
- build an iPXE .usb image with CONSOLE_INT13 enabled
- boot the cloud VM from this image
- after the boot fails, attach the VM's boot disk to a second VM
- from this second VM, use "less -f -R /dev/sdb3" (or similar) to
view the iPXE output.

When USB network card drivers are used, the BIOS' legacy USB
capability is necessarily disabled since there is no way to share the
host controller between the BIOS and iPXE. This currently results in
USB keyboards becoming non-functional in USB-enabled builds of iPXE.
Fix by adding basic support for USB keyboards, enabled by default in
iPXE builds which include USB support.

[vram] Add "vram" built-in setting to dump video RAM
The "vram" setting returns the (Base64-encoded) contents of video RAM,
and can be used to capture a screenshot. For example: after running
memtest.0 and encountering an error, the output can be captured and
sent to a remote server for later diagnosis:
#!ipxe
chain -a http://server/memtest.0 && goto ok || goto bad
:bad
params
param errno ${errno}
param vram ${vram}
chain -a http://server/report.php##params
:ok

[romprefix] Allow autoboot device filter to be disabled
Our current behaviour when booting as a ROM is to autoboot only from
devices which are attached via the PCI bus:dev.fn address passed to
the ROM's initialisation vector.
Add a build configuration option AUTOBOOT_ROM_FILTER (enabled by
default) to control this behaviour. This allows for ROMs to be built
which will attempt to boot from any detected device, even if not
attached via the original PCI bus:dev.fn address. (This is
particularly useful when building combined EHCI/xHCI ROMs for USB
network boot, since the BIOS may request a boot via the EHCI
controller but the xHCI driver will reroute the root hub ports to the
xHCI controller.)

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

[legal] Relicense files under GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDL
These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl
since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as
the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual

[dhcp] Extract timing parameters out to config/dhcp.h
iPXE uses DHCP timeouts loosely based on values recommended by the
specification, but often abbreviated to reduce timeouts for reliable
and/or simple network topologies. Extract the DHCP timing parameters
to config/dhcp.h and document them. The resulting default iPXE
behavior is exactly the same, but downstreams are now afforded the
opportunity to implement spec-compliant behavior via config file
overrides.

[build] Allow for named configurations at build time
Allow named configurations to be specified via the CONFIG=... build
parameter. For headers in config/*.h which support named
configurations, the following files will be included when building
with CONFIG=<name>:
- config/defaults/<platform>.h (e.g. config/defaults/pcbios.h)
- config/<header>.h
- config/<name>/<header>.h (only if the directory config/<name> exists)
- config/local/<header>.h (autocreated if necessary)
- config/local/<name>/<header>.h (autocreated if necessary)
This mechanism allows for predefined named configurations to be
checked in to the source tree, as a directory config/<name> containing
all of the required header files.
The mechanism also allows for users to define multiple local
configurations, by creating header files in the directory
config/local/<name>.
Note that the config/*.h files which are used only to configure
internal iPXE APIs (e.g. config/ioapi.h) cannot be modified via a
named configuration. This avoids rebuilding the entire iPXE codebase
whenever switching to a different named configuration.

[romprefix] Allow ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
iPXE currently prints a "Press Ctrl-B" banner twice: once when the ROM
is first called for initialisation and again if we attempt to boot
from the ROM. This slows boot, especially when the NIC is not the
primary boot device. Tools such as libguestfs make use of QEMU VMs
for performing maintenance on disk images and may make use of NICs in
the VM for network support. If iPXE introduces a static init-time
delay, that directly translates to increased runtime for the tools.
Fix by allowing the ROM banner timeout to be configured independently
of the main banner timeout.

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).
