Michael Brown 307b39c08c [build] Remove PACKED macro
Most of iPXE uses __attribute__((packed)) anyway, and PACKED conflicts
with an identically-named macro in the upstream EFI header files.

Michael Brown 8406115834 [build] Rename gPXE to iPXE
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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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.

Michael Brown 80d1ac7320 [pxe] Remove pxe_set_cached_filename()
gPXE currently overwrites the filename stored in the cached DHCP
packets when a call to PXENV_TFTP_READ_FILE or PXENV_RESTART_TFTP is
made.  This code has existed for many years as a workaround for RIS,
which seemed to require that this be done.

pxe_set_cached_filename() causes problems with the Bootix NBP, and a
recent test demonstrates that RIS will complete successfully even with
pxe_set_cached_filename() removed.  There have been many changes to
the DHCP and PXE logic since this code was first added, and it is
quite plausible that it was masking a bug that no longer exists.

Shao Miller 112a3f2de2 [pxe] Introduce PXE exit hook for NBP chaining
It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without
being "in the way".  We now implement a hook in our exit path
for gPXE *.*pxe build targets.  The hook is a pointer to a
SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit.  By default,
this pointer results in the usual exit path.

We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine
to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump
to during exit.

Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost
in code size.  Fortunately, a look at the size difference
for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference
after compression.

The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows:

FILE EXIT HOOK

Op-Code:	PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h)

Input:	Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter
		structure that has been initialized by the caller.

Output:	PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
		returned in AX.  The Status field in the parameter
		structure must be set to one of the values represented
		by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.

Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code.
		Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds.

typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK {
        PXENV_STATUS_t Status;
        SEGOFF16_t Hook;
} t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK;

Set before calling API service:

Hook:	The SEG16:OFF16 of the code to jump to.

Returned from API service:

Status:	See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.

Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the
various standard builds of gPXE.

Michael Brown 446b6d5fdd [pxe] Move all PXE files to arch/i386
The initial PXE implementation in Etherboot had the goal of being
architecture-agnostic, but this goal has not been realised.
