Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

This commit adds an igb (Intel GigaBit) driver based on Intel source
code available at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
which is upstream source for the Linux kernel e1000 drivers, and
should support some PCIe e1000 variants.

The NMB protocol code came from legacy Etherboot and was never updated
to work as a gPXE protocol. There has been no demand for this protocol,
so this patch removes it.

[linker] Add mechanism for subsystem-dependent configuration options
It is often the case that some module of gPXE is only relevant if the
subsystem it depends on is already being included. For instance,
commands to manage wireless interfaces are quite useless if no
compiled-in driver has pulled in the wireless networking stack. There
may be a user-modifiable configuration options for these dependent
modules, but even if enabled, they should not be included when they
would be useless.
Solve this by allowing the creation of config_subsystem.c, for
configuration directives like those in the global config.c that should
only be considered when subsystem.c is included in the final gPXE
build.
For consistency, move core/config.c to the config/ directory, where
the other config_subsystem.c files will eventually reside.

[802.11] Add support for 802.11 devices with software MAC layer
This is required for all modern 802.11 devices, and allows drivers
to be written for them with minimally more effort than is required
for a wired NIC.

It is now possible to run e.g.
make bin/rtl8139.dsk.licence
in order to see a licensing assessment for any given gPXE build. The
assessment will either produce a single overall licence for the build
(based on combining all the licences used within the source files for
that build), or will exit with an error stating why a licence
assessment is not possible (for example, if there are files involved
that do not yet contain an explicit FILE_LICENCE() declaration).
[build] Pad .rom, .dsk, and .hd images to 512-byte boundaries
QEMU will silently round down a disk or ROM image file to the nearest
512 bytes. Fix by always padding .rom, .dsk and .hd images to the
nearest 512-byte boundary.

On Mac OS X, it is necessary to build binutils manually; the system
does not provide bfd.h or the libbfd or libiberty libraries.

elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation
information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI
executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process
and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE
image header in efiprefix.S.
elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces
the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
[efi] Use EFI-native mechanism for accessing SMBIOS table
EFI provides a copy of the SMBIOS table accessible via the EFI system
table, which we should use instead of manually scanning through the
F000:0000 segment.
[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime environment
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
[makefile] Add support for multiple build platforms
Allow for the build CPU architecture and platform to be specified as part
of the make command goals. For example:
make bin/rtl8139.rom # Standard i386 PC-BIOS build
make bin-efi/rtl8139.efi # i386 EFI build
The generic syntax is "bin[-[arch-]platform]", with the default
architecture being "i386" (regardless of the host architecture) and the
default platform being "pcbios".
Non-path targets such as "srcs" can be specified using e.g.
make bin-efi srcs
Note that this changeset is merely Makefile restructuring to allow the
build architecture and platform to be determined by the make command
goals, and to export these to compiled code via the ARCH and PLATFORM
defines. It doesn't actually introduce any new build platforms.
?= in a Makefile means that that variable can be overridden by the
environment. This is confusing to users, especially with a generic
name like "ARCH".

Unconditionally set utility program variables in Makefile to allow CROSS_COMPILE to work.
stappers and xl0 pointed out that gnu make sets some variables, so ?=
is ineffective in some cases where we use it.. Cross-compilation
requires that some variables can be overridden in the
src/$(ARCH)/Config file, so include that file _after_ utility program
variables are set.
