[image] Simplify image management commands and internal API
Remove the name, cmdline, and action parameters from imgdownload() and
imgdownload_string(). These functions now simply download and return
an image.
Add the function imgacquire(), which will interpret a "name or URI
string" parameter and return either an existing image or a newly
downloaded image.
Use imgacquire() to merge similar image-management commands that
currently differ only by whether they take the name of an existing
image or the URI of a new image to download. For example, "chain" and
"imgexec" can now be merged.
Extend imgstat and imgfree commands to take an optional list of
images.
Remove the arbitrary restriction on the length of image names.

Trusted images may always be executed. Untrusted images may be
executed only if the current image trust requirement allows untrusted
images.
Images can be marked as trusted using image_trust(), and marked as
untrusted using image_untrust().
The current image trust requirement can be changed using
image_set_trust(). It is possible to make the change permanent, in
which case any future attempts to change the image trust requirement
will fail.

[image] Eliminate the register_and_xxx_image() functions
All users of imgdownload() require registration of the image, so make
registration an integral part of imgdownload() itself and simplify the
"action" parameter to be one of image_select(), image_exec() et al.

[image] Move the register_and_{select|boot}_image() functions to imgmgmt.c
These functions are used only as the "action" parameters to
imgdownload() or imgfetch(), and so belong in imgmgmt.c rather than
image.c

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

[image] Allow download job to complete before acting upon image
Allow the monojob controlling the download to complete before calling
register_image() and friends. This allows the trailing "ok" from
monojob.c to be printed before the image starts executing (and
possibly printing output of its own).

[autoboot] Connect SAN disk during a filename boot, if applicable
For performing installations direct to a SAN target, it can be very
useful to hook a SAN disk and then proceed to perform a filename boot.
For example, the user may wish to hook the (empty) SAN installation
disk and then boot into the OS installer via TFTP. This provides an
alternative mechanism to using "keep-san" and relying on the BIOS to
fall through to boot from the installation media, which is unreliable
on many BIOSes.
When a root-path is specified in addition to a boot filename, attempt
to hook the root-path as a SAN disk before booting from the specified
filename. Since the root-path may be used for non-SAN purposes
(e.g. an NFS root mount point), ignore the root-path if it contains a
URI scheme that we do not support.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

Currently, handling of URI escapes is ad-hoc; escaped strings are
stored as-is in the URI structure, and it is up to the individual
protocol to unescape as necessary. This is error-prone and expensive
in terms of code size. Modify this behavior by unescaping in
parse_uri() and escaping in unparse_uri() those fields that typically
handle URI escapes (hostname, user, password, path, query, fragment),
and allowing unparse_uri() to accept a subset of fields to print so
it can be easily used to generate e.g. the escaped HTTP path?query
request.

[image] Fail "imgexec"/"boot" if the image to execute is ambiguous
If there is more than one loaded image, refuse to automatically select
the image to execute. There are at least two possible cases, with
different "correct" answers:
1. User loads image A by mistake, then loads image B and types "boot".
User wants to execute image B.
2. User loads image A, then loads image B (which patches image A), then
types "boot". User wants to execute image A.
If a user actually wants to load multiple images, they must explicitly
specify which image is to be executed.
Let ifmgmt.c take care of calling efree(), since it's the once which
took out the contract to eventually call efree() when it called fetch().
Maintain the most recently loaded image at the start of the list, so that
imgautoselect() will pick it.
Strip down i386 PCI configuration space I/O to the bare minimum. A
typical build will now include 880 bytes of PCI support code, compared to
2327 bytes in Etherboot 5.4.
(There is a slight cost of around 5 extra bytes per access to a
non-constant config space address; this should be an overall win.
Driver-specific accesses will usually be to constant addresses, for
which there is no additional cost.)
