[tftp] Allow TFTP block size to be controlled via the PXE TFTP API
The PXE TFTP API allows the caller to request a particular TFTP block
size. Since mid-2008, iPXE has appended a "?blksize=xxx" parameter to
the TFTP URI constructed internally; nothing has ever parsed this
parameter. Nobody seems to have cared that this parameter has been
ignored for almost five years.
Fix by using xfer_window(), which provides a fairly natural way to
convey the block size information from the PXE TFTP API to the TFTP
protocol layer.

[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.

[tls] Concatenate received non-data records before processing
Allow non-data records to be split across multiple received I/O

[serial] Don't enable serial console without serial support
serial_console_init() would enable serial console support without
knowing if the serial driver succeeded or not. As a result, the
serial console would interfere with a normal keyboard on a system
lacking serial support.

[tls] Split received records over multiple I/O buffers
TLS servers are not obliged to implement the RFC3546 maximum fragment
length extension, and many common servers (including OpenSSL, as used
in Apache's mod_ssl) do not do so. iPXE may therefore have to cope
with TLS records of up to 16kB. Allocations for 16kB have a
non-negligible chance of failing, causing the TLS connection to abort.
Fix by maintaining the received record as a linked list of I/O
buffers, rather than a single contiguous buffer. To reduce memory
pressure, we also decrypt in situ, and deliver the decrypted data via
xfer_deliver_iob() rather than xfer_deliver_raw().

[settings] Use a generic setting's own type as its default type
When fetching a named setting using a name that does not explicitly
specify a type, default to using the type stored when the setting was
created, rather than always defaulting to "string". This allows the
behaviour of user-defined settings to match the behaviour of
predefined settings (which have a sensible default type).
For example:
set server:ipv4 192.168.0.1
echo ${server}
will now print "192.168.0.1", rather than trying to print out the raw
IPv4 address bytes as a string.
The downside of this change is that existing tricks for printing
special characters within scripts may require (backwards-compatible)
modification. For example, the "clear screen" sequence:
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc}[2J
echo ${cls}
will now have to become
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc:string}[2J # Must now explicitly specify ":string"
echo ${cls}

[ipoib] Expose Ethernet-compatible eIPoIB link-layer addresses and headers
Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

A window size of 256kB should be sufficient to allow for
full-bandwidth transfers over a Gigabit LAN, and for acceptable

Discarding the active ARP cache entry in the middle of a download will
substantially disrupt the TCP stream. Try to minimise any such
disruption by treating ARP cache entries as expensive, and discarding
them only when nothing else is available to discard.

[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.

[tls] Request a maximum fragment length of 2048 bytes
The default maximum plaintext fragment length for TLS is 16kB, which
is a substantial amount of memory for iPXE to have to allocate for a
temporary decryption buffer.
Reduce the memory footprint of TLS connections by requesting a maximum
fragment length of 2kB.

The maximum unscaled TCP window (64kB) implies a maximum bandwidth of
around 300kB/s on a WAN link with an RTT of 200ms. Add support for
the TCP window scaling option to remove this upper limit.
