Add basic support for multipath block devices. The "sanboot" and
"sanhook" commands now accept a list of SAN URIs. We open all URIs
concurrently. The first connection to become available for issuing
block device commands is marked as the active path and used for all
subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever
the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process.

[efi] Provide ACPI table description for SAN devices
Provide a basic proof of concept ACPI table description (e.g. iBFT for
iSCSI) for SAN devices in a UEFI environment, using a control flow
that is functionally identical to that used in a BIOS environment.

The concept of the SAN drive number is meaningful only in a BIOS
environment, where it represents the INT13 drive number (0x80 for the
first hard disk). We retain this concept in a UEFI environment to
allow for a simple way for iPXE commands to refer to SAN drives.
Centralise the concept of the default drive number, since it is shared
between all supported environments.
