[rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Source of Entropy Input
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI).
One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input,
condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call.
This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need
to allocate potentially very large buffers.
(Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input"
are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.)
Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at
compilation time.

Treat an empty (zeroed) DRBG as invalid. This ensures that a DRBG
that has not yet been instantiated (or that has been uninstantiated)
will refuse to attempt to generate random bits.

[rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Hash_df derivation function
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved derivation functions for use in
distributing entropy throughout a buffer. One such derivation
function is Hash_df, which can be implemented using the existing iPXE
SHA-1 functionality.

iPXE exposes some extended capabilities via the PXE FILE API to allow
NBPs such as pxelinux to use protocols other than TFTP. Provide an
equivalent interface as a UEFI protocol so that EFI binaries may also
take advantage of iPXE's extended capabilities.
This can be used with a patched version of elilo, for example:

Cryptographic random number generation requires an entropy source,
which is used as the input to a Deterministic Random Bit Generator
(DRBG).
iPXE does not currently have a suitable entropy source. Provide a
dummy source to allow the DRBG code to be implemented.

ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved algorithms for use in a
Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG). One such algorithm is
HMAC_DRBG, which can be implemented using the existing iPXE SHA-1 and
HMAC functionality. This algorithm provides a maximum security
strength of 128 bits.

TCP currently neglects to allow sufficient space for its own headers
when allocating I/O buffers. This problem is masked by the fact that
the maximum link-layer header size (802.11) is substantially larger
than the common Ethernet link-layer header.
Fix by allowing sufficient space for any TCP headers, as well as the
network-layer and link-layer headers.

[process] Pass containing object pointer to process step() methods
Give the step() method a pointer to the containing object, rather than

A scriptlet is a single iPXE command that can be stored in
non-volatile option storage and used to override the default
"autoboot" behaviour without having to reflash the iPXE image.
For example, a scriptlet could contain
autoboot || reboot
to instruct iPXE to reboot the system if booting fails.
Unlike an embedded image, the presence of a scriptlet does not inhibit
the initial "Press Ctrl-B..." prompt. This allows the user to recover
from setting a faulty scriptlet.
