[settings] Eliminate call to fetchf_named_setting() in expand_settings()
Use parse_setting_name() and fetchf_setting_copy() in
expand_settings(), to eliminate the call to fetchf_named_setting().
This change also eliminates the potentially large stack-allocated
buffer in expand_settings().

[settings] Change "not-found" semantics of fetch_setting_copy()
fetch_settings_copy() currently returns success and a NULL data
pointer to indicate a non-existent setting. This is intended to allow
the caller to differentiate between a non-existent setting and an
error in allocating memory for the copy of the setting.
The underlying settings blocks' fetch() methods provide no way to
perform an existence check separate from an attempt to fetch the
setting. A "non-existent setting" therefore means simply a setting
for which an error was encountered when attempting to fetch from every
settings block within the subtree.
Since any underlying error within a settings block (e.g. a GuestRPC
failure when attempting to retrieve a VMware GuestInfo setting) will
produce the effect of a "non-existent setting", it seems somewhat
meaningless to give special treatment to memory allocation errors
within fetch_setting_copy().
Remove the special treatment and simplify the semantics of
fetch_setting_copy() by directly passing through any underlying error
(including non-existence) encountered while fetching the setting.

[settings] Clarify usage of the term "named setting"
There are currently two conflicting usages of the term "named setting"
within iPXE: one refers to predefined settings (such as show up in the
"config" UI), the other refers to settings identified by a name (such
as "net0.dhcp/ip").
Split these usages into the term "predefined setting" and "named
setting" to avoid ambiguity.

Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols
defined by FILE_LICENCE(), meaning that the resulting licence
determination is incomplete.
We must use the KEEP() directive in the linker script to force the
linker to not discard the licence symbols. Using KEEP(*(COMMON))
would be undesirable, since there are some symbols in COMMON which we
may wish to discard.
Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by
FILE_LICENCE()) into a special ".provided" section, which we then mark
with KEEP(). All such symbols are zero-length, so there is no cost in
terms of the final binary size.
Since the symbols are no longer in COMMON, the linker will reject
symbols with the same name coming from multiple objects. We therefore
append the object name to the licence symbol, to ensure that it is
unique.

[ifmgmt] Avoid relying on global variable within ifcommon_exec()
The getopt API defines optind as a global variable. When used by the
"autoboot" command, the payload function passed to ifcommon_exec() may
result in a new iPXE script being executed; the commands therein would
then overwrite the value of optind. On returning, ifcommon_exec()
would continue processing the list of interfaces from an undefined
point.
Fix by using a local variable to hold the index within the list of
interfaces.

[base16] Ensure base16_encode() always terminates its result string
base16_encode() will fail to generate a terminating NUL if the length

[settings] Make "netX" settings block function as a symbolic link
Add a facility for settings blocks to act as symbolic links to other
settings blocks, and reimplement the "netX" virtual settings block
using this facility.
The primary advantage of this approach is that unscoped settings such
as ${mac} and ${filename} will now reflect the settings obtained from
the most recently opened network device: in most cases, this will mean
the settings obtained from the most recent DHCP attempt. This should
improve conformance to the principle of least astonishment.

[settings] Expose PCI configuration space via settings mechanism
Allow values to be read from PCI configuration space using the syntax
${pci/<busdevfn>.<offset>.<length>}
where <busdevfn> is the bus:dev.fn address of the PCI device
(expressed as a single integer, as returned by ${net0/busloc}),
<offset> is the offset within PCI configuration space, and <length> is
the length within PCI configuration space.
Values are returned in reverse byte order, since PCI configuration
space is little-endian by definition.

[tcp] Do not send RST for unrecognised connections
On large networks with substantial numbers of monitoring agents,
unwanted TCP connection attempts may end up flooding iPXE's ARP cache.
Fix by silently dropping packets received for unrecognised TCP

will also silently drop any such packets.
