[realtek] Enable DAC only when built as a 64-bit binary
Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) crash and burn if DAC
is enabled, even if only 32-bit addresses are used. Observed
behaviour includes system lockups and repeated transmission of garbage
data onto the wire.
This seems to be a known problem. The Linux r8169 driver disables DAC
by default and provides a "use_dac" module parameter.
There appears to be no known test for determining whether or not DAC
will work. As a workaround, enable DAC only if we are built as as
64-bit binary. This at least eliminates the problem in the common
case of a 32-bit build, which will never use 64-bit addresses anyway.

Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) power up with

operation, it almost certainly degrades performance.
Fix by explicitly setting TCR.MXDMA to "unlimited".

Commit 501527d ("[http] Treat any unexpected connection close as an
error") introduced a regression causing HTTP SAN booting to fail. At
the end of the response to the HEAD request, the call to http_done()
would erroneously believe that the server had disconnected in the
middle of the HTTP headers.
Fix by treating the header block from a HEAD request as a trailer
block. This fixes the problem and also simplifies the logic in
http_rx_header().

[http] Treat any unexpected connection close as an error
iPXE currently checks that the server has not closed the connection
mid-stream (i.e. in the middle of a chunked transfer, or before the
specified Content-Length has been received), but does not check that
the server got as far as starting to send data. Consequently, if the
server closes the connection before any data is transferred (e.g. if
the server gives up waiting while iPXE performs the validation steps
for TLS), then iPXE will treat this as a successful transfer of a
zero-length file.
Fix by checking the RX connection state, and forcing an error if the
server has closed the connection at an unexpected point.

[util] Fix up checksum in UNDI ROM header, if present
The UNDI ROM header does contain a checksum byte. Apparently no-one

anyone noticing.
Since Option::ROM now understands the UNDI ROM header, we may as well
fix up the checksum byte for the sake of completeness.

[comboot] Accept only ".cbt" as an extension for COMBOOT images
COMBOOT images are detected by looking for a ".com" or ".cbt" filename
extension. There are widely-used files with a ".com" extension, such
as "wdsnbp.com", which are PXE images rather than COMBOOT images.
Avoid false detection of PXE images as COMBOOT images by accepting
only a ".cbt" extension as indicating a COMBOOT image.
Interestingly, this bug has been present for a long time but was
frequently concealed because the filename was truncated to fit the
fixed-length "name" field in struct image. (PXE binaries ending in
".com" tend to be related to Windows deployment products and so often
use pathnames including backslashes, which iPXE doesn't recognise as a
path separator and so treats as part of a very long filename.)
Commit 1c127a6 ("[image] Simplify image management commands and
internal API") made the image name a variable-length field, and so
exposed this flaw in the COMBOOT image detection algorithm.

[romprefix] Round up PMM allocation sizes to nearest 4kB
Some AMI BIOSes apparently break in exciting ways when asked for PMM

Fix by rounding up the image source area to the nearest 4kB. (The
temporary decompression area is already rounded up to the nearest
128kB, to facilitate sharing between multiple iPXE ROMs.)

[romprefix] Report a pessimistic runtime size estimate
PCI3.0 allows us to report a "runtime size" which can be smaller than
the actual ROM size. On systems that support PMM our runtime size
will be small (~2.5kB), which helps to conserve the limited option ROM
space. However, there is no guarantee that the PMM allocation will
succeed, and so we need to report the worst-case runtime size in the
PCI header.
Move the "shrunk ROM size" field from the PCI header to a new "iPXE
ROM header", allowing it to be accessed by ROM-manipulation utilities
such as disrom.pl.
