[dns] Add support for resolving IPv6 addresses via AAAA records
Our policy is to prefer IPv6 addreses to IPv4 addresses, but to
request IPv6 addresses only if we have an IPv6 address for the name
server itself.

[settings] Allow for IPv6 setting types in non-IPv6 builds
Allow for the existence of references to IPv6 setting types without
dragging in the whole IPv6 stack, by placing the definition of
setting_type_ipv6 in core/settings.c and providing weak stub methods
for parse_ipv6_setting() and format_ipv6_setting().

[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.

[console] Allow '?' as an intermediate byte in ANSI escape sequences
The ANSI escape sequences to show and hide the cursor take the form
"<ESC>[?25h" and "<ESC>[?25l" respectively. iPXE currently treats the
'?' character as the final byte. Fix by explicitly treating '?' as an
intermediate byte.

[ipv6] Separate the concepts of prefix and address creation
Allow for IPv6 routing table entries to be created for an on-link
prefix where a local address has not yet been assigned to the network
device.

[dhcpv6] Add basic support for stateful and stateless DHCPv6
Add support for the stateful and stateless variants of the DHCPv6
protocol. The resulting settings block is registered as
"net<x>.dhcpv6", and DHCPv6 options can be obtained using
e.g. "${net0.dhcpv6/23:ipv6}" to obtain the IPv6 DNS server address.
IPv6 addresses obtained via stateful DHCPv6 are not yet applied to the
network device.

Include IPv6 within the generic network device configurator
mechanism. The IPv6 configurator will send a router solicitation and
wait for a router advertisement to be received. (As per RFC4861
section 6.3.7, we do this even if advertisements have been received
prior to sending the router solicitation.)

[netdevice] Add generic concept of a network device configurator
iPXE supports multiple mechanisms for network device configuration:
DHCPv4 for IPv4, FIP for FCoE, and SLAAC for IPv6. At present, DHCPv4
requires an explicit action (e.g. a "dhcp" command), FIP is initiated
implicitly upon opening a network device, and SLAAC takes place
whenever a RA happens to be received.
Add a generic concept of a network device configurator, which provides
a common interface to triggering configuration and to reporting the
result of the configuration process.

[job] Allow job_progress() to return an ongoing job status code, if known
Some background jobs have a meaningful ongoing status code (e.g. the
current link status for a job waiting for a network link to come up).
Allow this to be exposed via the job_progress() method.

Parsing a timeout value (specified in milliseconds) into an internal
timeout value measured in timer ticks is a common operation. Provide
a parse_timeout() value to carry out this conversion automatically.

[pxe] Always retrieve cached DHCPACK and apply to relevant network device
When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the
underlying PXE stack, and apply it as the original contents of the
"net<X>.dhcp" settings block. This allows cached DHCP settings to be
used for any chainloaded iPXE binary (not just undionly.kkpxe).
This change eliminates the undocumented "use-cached" setting. Issuing
the "dhcp" command will now always result in a fresh DHCP request.

Add generic pinger mechanism (analogous to the generic downloader
mechanism) which opens a ping socket, transmits ping requests, and
passes information about ping replies to a callback function.

Merge common functionality between IPv4 and IPv6 ICMP echo handling,
and add support for transmitting ICMP echo requests and delivering
ICMP echo replies to a (not yet implemented) ping_rx() function.

The path MTU is currently hardcoded to 1460 bytes, which fails to
allow space for TCP options. Sending a maximum-sized datagram (which
is viable when using HTTP POST) will therefore fail since the Ethernet
MTU will be exceeded.
Reduce the hardcoded path MTU to produce a maximum datagram of 1280
bytes, which is the size required of data link layers by IPv6. It is
a reasonable assumption that all intermediary data link layers will be
able to convey this packet without fragmentation, even for IPv4.
Note that this reduction has a minimal impact upon download
throughput, since it affects only the transmit data path.

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).

[neighbour] Generalise concept of neighbour discovery
Split the protocol-independent portions of arp.c into a separate file
neighbour.c, to allow for sharing of functionality between IPv4+ARP
and IPv6+NDP.
