[lkrnprefix] Function as a bzImage kernel

The .lkrn prefix currently provides a zImage kernel with unused setup
sectors and the whole iPXE binary placed within the "protected mode
kernel" portion of the zImage.

The work carried out years ago to create the .mrom format provides a
mechanism allowing the iPXE binary to be split into a small real-mode
header and a larger payload.  This neatly matches the way that a
bzImage is loaded: the "setup sectors" can contain the header and the
"protected mode kernel" can contain the payload.

This removes the size restrictions on an iPXE .lkrn image (and hence
on derived image formats such as .iso).

Also remove obsolete copyright information, since none of the original
code or functionality now remains.

Description:
This is just a little bit of code and data that can get prepended
to a ROM image in order to allow bootloaders to load the result
as if it were a Linux kernel image.
A real Linux kernel image consists of a one-sector boot loader
(to load the image from a floppy disk), followed a few sectors
of setup code, followed by the kernel code itself. There's
a table in the first sector (starting at offset 497) that indicates
how many sectors of setup code follow the first sector and which
contains some other parameters that aren't interesting in this
case.
When a bootloader loads the sectors that comprise a kernel image,
it doesn't execute the code in the first sector (since that code
would try to load the image from a floppy disk.) The code in the
first sector below doesn't expect to get executed (and prints an
error message if it ever -is- executed.)
We don't require much in the way of setup code. Historically, the
Linux kernel required at least 4 sectors of setup code.
Therefore, at least 4 sectors must be present even though we don't
use them.
