Parsing a timeout value (specified in milliseconds) into an internal
timeout value measured in timer ticks is a common operation. Provide
a parse_timeout() value to carry out this conversion automatically.

Allow commands to be placed on the same line as a label. This allows
for improved legibility of loop constructions by incorporating the
loop check condition into the same line as the loop label. For
example, to iterate over network devices using the forthcoming "inc"
command:
set idx:int16 0
:loop isset ${net${idx}/mac} || goto loop_done
echo net${idx} is a ${net${idx}/chip} with MAC ${net${idx}/mac}
inc idx && goto loop
:loop_done

Initial whitespace is already accepted on lines containing commands,
since it gets ignored by the system() call. Minimise surprise and
allow for neater indentation of scripts by also allowing whitespace on
lines containing labels.

Allow long script lines to be broken up using backslash continuation.
For example:
choose --default linux --timeout 3000 os \
&& goto boot_${os} || goto cancelled

CRLF line terminators are allowed in scripts; the carriage return is
simply interpreted as trailing whitespace and so is ignored. This
fails on lines containing script labels, since the label-finding code
checks for a line containing only the ":" marker and the label itself
(without any trailing whitespace).
Fix by allowing a label to be terminated by either a NUL or a
whitespace character.

A script that downloads a new image using imgdownload() with the
action register_and_replace_image() can now be freed immediately
before the replacement image is executed. This functionality is not
yet exposed via an iPXE command.

Some prefixes (e.g. .lkrn) allow a command line to be passed in to
iPXE. At present, this command line is ignored.
If a command line is provided, treat it as an embedded script (without
an explicit "#!ipxe" magic marker). This allows for patterns of
invocation such as
title iPXE
kernel /boot/ipxe.lkrn dhcp && \
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
Here GRUB is instructed to load ipxe.lkrn with an embedded script
equivalent to
#!ipxe
dhcp
sanboot iscsi:10.0.4.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage
This can be used to effectively vary the embedded script without
having to rebuild ipxe.lkrn.

The "prompt" command exposes the prompt() function, allowing a script
to prompt the user for a keypress and take action depending on the
result. For example
#!ipxe
prompt -k 0x197e -t 2000 Press F12 to boot from network... || exit
autoboot

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

The online documentation (e.g. http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifopen), though not
yet complete, is far more comprehensive than could be provided within
the iPXE binary. Save around 200 bytes (compressed) by removing the
command descriptions from the interactive help, and instead referring
users directly to the web page describing the relevant command.

The && and || operators should be left-associative, since that is how
they are treated in most other languages (including C and Unix
shell). For example, in the command:
dhcp net0 && goto dhcp_ok || echo No DHCP on net0
if the "dhcp net0" fails then the "echo" should be executed.
After an "exit" or a successful "goto", further commands on the same
line should never be executed. For example:
goto somewhere && echo This should never be printed
exit 0 && echo This should never be printed
exit 1 && echo This should never be printed
An "exit" should cause the current shell or script to terminate and
return the specified exit status to its caller. For example:
chain test.ipxe && echo Success || echo Failure
[in test.ipxe]
#!ipxe
exit 0
should echo "Success".

Allow script labels to be defined using the syntax
:<labelname>
(nothing else allowed on the line, including whitespace). Labels are
ignored during script execution, but can be used as the target of the
"goto" command. For example:
#!ipxe
goto machine_${net0/ip} || goto machine_default
# Linux kernel boot
:machine_10.0.0.101
:machine_10.0.0.102
set filename http://my.boot.server/vmlinuz
goto done
# Default configuration
:machine_default
set filename pxelinux.0
goto done
# Boot selected configuration
:done
chain ${filename}

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.

Windows text editors such as Notepad tend to use CRLF line endings,
which breaks gPXE's signature detection for script images. Since
scripts are usually very small, they end up falling back to being
detected as valid PXE executable images (since there are no signature
checks for PXE executables). Executing text files as x86 machine code
tends not to work well.
Fix by allowing for any isspace() character to terminate the "#!gpxe"
signature, and by ensuring that CR characters get stripped during
command line parsing.

Multi-level menus via COMBOOT rely on the COMBOOT program being able
to exit and invoke a new COMBOOT program (the next menu). This works,
but rapidly (within about five iterations) runs out of space in gPXE's
internal stack, since each new image is executed in a new function
context.
Fix by allowing tail recursion between images; an image can now
specify a replacement image for itself, and image_exec() will perform
the necessary tail recursion.
