Select the IPv6 source address and corresponding router (if any) using
a very simplified version of the algorithm from RFC6724:
- Ignore any source address that has a smaller scope than the
destination address. For example, do not use a link-local source
address when sending to a global destination address.
- If we have a source address which is on the same link as the
destination address, then use that source address.
- If we are left with multiple possible source addresses, then choose
the address with the smallest scope. For example, if we are sending
to a site-local destination address and we have both a global source
address and a site-local source address, then use the site-local
source address.
- If we are still left with multiple possible source addresses, then
choose the address with the longest matching prefix.
For the purposes of this algorithm, we treat RFC4193 Unique Local
Addresses as having organisation-local scope. Since we use only
link-local scope for our multicast transmissions, this approximation
should remain valid in all practical situations.

[ipv4] Allow IPv4 socket addresses to include a scope ID
Extend the IPv6 concept of "scope ID" (indicating the network device
index) to IPv4 socket addresses, so that IPv4 multicast transmissions
may specify the transmitting network device.
The scope ID is not (currently) exposed via the string representation
of the socket address, since IPv4 does not use the IPv6 concept of
link-local addresses (which could legitimately be specified in a URI).

[ipv4] Redefine IP address constants to avoid unnecessary byte swapping
Redefine various IPv4 address constants and testing macros to avoid
unnecessary byte swapping at runtime, and slightly rename the macros
to prevent code from accidentally using the old definitions.

[ipv6] Treat a missing network device name as "netX"
When an IPv6 socket address string specifies a link-local or multicast
address but does not specify the requisite network device name
(e.g. "fe80::69ff:fe50:5845" rather than "fe80::69ff:fe50:5845%net0"),
assume the use of "netX".

[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
knowledge of the code's origin).

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).

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.

The IGMP code came from legacy Etherboot and was never updated to work
as a gPXE protocol. There has been no demand for this protocol, so this
patch removes it.

[build] Avoid strict-aliasing warnings when building with gcc 4.4
Conventional usage of the various struct sockaddr_xxx types involves
liberal use of casting, which tends to trigger strict-aliasing
warnings from gcc. Avoid these now and in future by marking all the
relevant types with __attribute__((may_alias)).
[udp] Verify local socket address (if specified) for UDP sockets
UDP sockets can be used for multicast, at which point it becomes
plausible that we could receive packets that aren't destined for us
but that still match on a port number.
I want to get to the point where any header in include/ reflects a
standard user-level header (e.g. a POSIX header), while everything that's
specific to gPXE lives in include/gpxe/. Headers that reflect a Linux
header (e.g. if_ether.h) should also be in include/gpxe/, with the same
name as the Linux header and, preferably, the same names used for the
definitions.
Added prototype for inet_ntoa, even though we don't have the function
yet, in order to allow prototester.c to compile. It might be worth
changing all the uses of "%@" in printf to use "%s" and inet_ntoa
instead, in order to improve the portability of our code.
