Virtio 0.9 implementation was limited to the maximum virtqueue size of
MAX_QUEUE_NUM and the virtio-net driver would fail to initialize on hosts
exceeding this limit.
This commit lifts the restriction by allocating the queue memory based on
the actual queue size instead of using a fixed maximum. Note that virtio
1.0 still uses the MAX_QUEUE_NUM constant to cap the size (unfortunately
this functionality is not available in virtio 0.9).

Some of the regions may end up being unmapped, either because they are
optional or because the attempt to map them has failed. Region types
starting at 0 didn't make it easy to test for this condition.
This commit bumps all valid region types up by 1 with 0 having the
implicit 'unmapped' meaning.

This commit adds support for driving virtio 1.0 PCI devices. In
addition to various helpers, a number of vpm_ functions are introduced
to be used instead of their legacy vp_ counterparts when accessing
virtio 1.0 (aka modern) devices.

[virtio] Add virtio 1.0 constants and data structures
Virtio 1.0 introduces new constants and data structures, common to all
devices as well as specific to virtio-net. This commit adds a subset
of these to be able to drive the virtio-net 1.0 network device.

[virtio] Replace virtio-net with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE virtio-net driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot virtio-net driver. The main reasons for doing this are:
1. Multiple virtio-net NICs are now supported by iPXE. The legacy
driver kept global state and caused issues in virtual machines with
more than one virtio-net device.
2. Faster downloads. The native iPXE driver downloads 100 MB over
HTTP in 12s, the legacy Etherboot driver in 37s. This simple
benchmark uses KVM with tap networking and the Python
SimpleHTTPServer both running on the same host.
Changes to core virtio code reduce vring descriptors to 256 (QEMU uses
128 for virtio-blk and 256 for virtio-net) and change the opaque token
from u16 to void*. Lowering the descriptor count reduces memory
consumption. The void* opaque token change makes driver code simpler.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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.
