[build] Use PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME for end-user visible strings
Use PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME instead of a hardcoded "iPXE" for strings which
are typically shown in the user interface.
Note that this only allows for customisation of the user interface.
Where the "iPXE" string serves a technical purpose (such as in the
HTTP User-Agent), the string cannot be customised.

[settings] Allow for multiple definitions of each predefined setting
Allow for multiple setting definitions with the same name but
different scopes and tags. For example, allow for a "filename"
setting with default scope and tag value 67 (for DHCPv4) and a
corresponding "filename" setting with IPv6 scope and tag value 59 (for
DHCPv6).

[settings] Explicitly separate the concept of a completed fetched setting
The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the
definition of the specified setting (e.g. to add missing type
information). Clean up this interface by requiring callers to provide
an explicit buffer to contain the completed definition of the fetched
setting, if required.

[settings] Add support for navigation keys in "config" user interface
Add support for page up, page down, home and end keys, matching the
navigation logic used in the menu user interface.

[settings] Make "netX" settings block function as a symbolic link
Add a facility for settings blocks to act as symbolic links to other
settings blocks, and reimplement the "netX" virtual settings block
using this facility.
The primary advantage of this approach is that unscoped settings such
as ${mac} and ${filename} will now reflect the settings obtained from
the most recently opened network device: in most cases, this will mean
the settings obtained from the most recent DHCP attempt. This should
improve conformance to the principle of least astonishment.

iPXE documentation tends to refer to "settings" rather than "options",
since settings can be more general than DHCP options.

[settings] Add hierarchy navigation in "config" user interface

[settings] Display only applicable settings in "config" user interface
Display only settings relevant to the current scope. For example,
"config net0" no longer displays SMBIOS settings, and "config smbios"
displays only SMBIOS settings.

Make Ctrl-D delete a setting, because the Text User Interface (tui)
previously provided no way to delete a setting. Also, update the
on-screen instructions to describe the new feature. Deleting settings
is especially important for settings stored in precious nonvolatile
storage.

Implement jump scrolling with "..." displayed where the settings list
continues off-screen, because there are now too many settings to fit
on screen in the "config ..." text user interface.

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.

[tables] Incorporate table data type information into table definition
Eliminate the potential for mismatches between table names and the
table entry data type by incorporating the data type into the
definition of the table, rather than specifying it explicitly in each
table accessor method.
[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables
Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
[Settings] Remove assumption that all settings have DHCP tag values
Allow for settings to be described by something other than a DHCP option
tag if desirable. Currently used only for the MAC address setting.
Separate out fake DHCP packet creation code from dhcp.c to fakedhcp.c.
Remove notion of settings from dhcppkt.c.
Rationalise dhcp.c to use settings API only for final registration of the
DHCP options, rather than using {store,fetch}_setting throughout.
Add the notion of the settings hierarchy, complete with
register/unregister routines.
Rename set->store and get->fetch to avoid naming conflicts with get/put
as used in reference counting.
[Settings] Start revamping the configuration settings API.
Add the concept of an abstract configuration setting, comprising a (DHCP)
tag value and an associated byte sequence.
Add the concept of a settings namespace.
Add functions for extracting string, IPv4 address, and signed and
unsigned integer values from configuration settings (analogous to
dhcp_snprintf(), dhcp_ipv4_option(), etc.).
Update functions for parsing and formatting named/typed options to work
with new settings API.
Update NVO commands and config UI to use new settings API.
show_setting() and related functions now return an "actual length" in the
style of snprintf(). This is to allow consumers to allocate buffers large
enough to hold the formatted setting.
Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.
Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.
Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros. This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
Move {show,set,clear}_setting() to {show,set,clear}_named_setting().
Introduce new {show,set,clear}_setting() that take a struct setting *
rather than a const char *.
set_setting() handles calling clear_setting() when appropriate, so that
individual setting types don't have to check for empty strings.
