The symbol_text16 is defined globally by the linker.  Use rm_text16
instead of _text16 for the local variable within librm.S to avoid
confusion when reading linker maps.

Use the shared code in libflat to perform the A20 transitions
automatically on each transition from real to protected mode.  This
allows us to remove all explicit calls to gateA20_set().

The old warnings about avoiding automatically enabling A20 are
essentially redundant; they date back to the time when we would always
start hammering the keyboard controller without first checking to see
if gate A20 was already enabled (which it almost always is).

When returning to real mode, set 4GB segment limits instead of 64kB
limits.  This change improves our chances of successfully returning to
a PMM-capable BIOS aftering entering iPXE during POST; the BIOS will
have set up flat real mode before calling our initialisation point,
and may be disconcerted if we then return in genuine real mode.

This change is unlikely to break anything, since any code that might
potentially access beyond 64kB must use addr32 prefixes to do so; if
this is the case then it is almost certainly code written to expect
flat real mode anyway.

Note that it is not possible to restore the real-mode segment limits
to their original values, since it is not possible to know which
protected-mode segment descriptor was originally used to initialise
the limit portion of the segment register.

Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the
various standard builds of gPXE.

Try to avoid future problems caused by implicit section flags and/or
type information by instituting a policy that all .section
declarations must explicitly state the flags and type.

Most of this change was achieved using

With a 16-bit operand, lgdt/lidt will load only a 24-bit base address,
ignoring the high-order bits.  This meant that we could fail to fully
restore the GDT across a call into gPXE, if the GDT happened to be
located above the 16MB mark.

Not all of our lgdt/lidt instructions require a data32 prefix (for
example, reloading the real-mode IDT can never require a 32-bit base
address), but by adding them everywhere we will hopefully not forget
the necessary ones in future.

  Just using the stack would screw up when a prot_call()ed routine

  the RM stack.

  Extending rm_sp to rm_esp would not be safe, because the guarantee that
