[interface] Convert all data-xfer interfaces to generic interfaces
Remove data-xfer as an interface type, and replace data-xfer
interfaces with generic interfaces supporting the data-xfer methods.
Filter interfaces (as used by the TLS layer) are handled using the
generic pass-through interface capability. A side-effect of this is
that deliver_raw() no longer exists as a data-xfer method. (In
practice this doesn't lose any efficiency, since there are no
instances within the current codebase where xfer_deliver_raw() is used
to pass data to an interface supporting the deliver_raw() method.)

Standardise on using ref_init() to initialise an embedded reference
count, to match the coding style used by other embedded objects.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

Modify data-xfer semantics: it is no longer necessary to call one of
request(), seek() or deliver_xxx() in order to start the data flow.
Autonomous generators must be genuinely autonomous (having their own
process), or otherwise arrange to be called. TCP does this by
starting the retry timer immediately.
Add some debugging statements.
Do not hold self-references. This then avoids the problem of having to
ensure that we only drop our self-reference exactly once.
To maintain the guarantee that an object won't go out of scope
unexpectedly while one of its event handlers is being called, the
event-calling functions now automatically obtain and drop extra
references.
