Allow the "initialising devices" message to show up on consoles which
require initialisation, by deferring it until after initialise() has
completed.

Allow for IPv6 routing table entries to be created for an on-link
prefix where a local address has not yet been assigned to the network
device.

Syslinux 6.x places its files into a bios subdirectory, and requires
that a ldlinux.c32 module be included within the ISO image. Add the
relevant search paths for isolinux.bin, and include the file
ldlinux.c32 within the ISO image if it exists.

Add support for the stateful and stateless variants of the DHCPv6
protocol. The resulting settings block is registered as
"net<x>.dhcpv6", and DHCPv6 options can be obtained using
e.g. "${net0.dhcpv6/23:ipv6}" to obtain the IPv6 DNS server address.
IPv6 addresses obtained via stateful DHCPv6 are not yet applied to the
network device.

The retrieval of the cached DHCPACK and the creation of network
devices are both currently scheduled as STARTUP_NORMAL. It is
therefore possible that the cached DHCPACK will not be retrieved in
time for cachedhcp_probe() to apply it to the relevant network device.
Fix by retrieving the cached DHCPACK at initialisation time rather
than at startup time.
As an optimisation, an unclaimed cached DHCPACK can be freed
immediately after the last network device has been created, rather
than waiting until shutdown.

Include IPv6 within the generic network device configurator
mechanism. The IPv6 configurator will send a router solicitation and
wait for a router advertisement to be received. (As per RFC4861
section 6.3.7, we do this even if advertisements have been received
prior to sending the router solicitation.)

iPXE supports multiple mechanisms for network device configuration:
DHCPv4 for IPv4, FIP for FCoE, and SLAAC for IPv6. At present, DHCPv4
requires an explicit action (e.g. a "dhcp" command), FIP is initiated
implicitly upon opening a network device, and SLAAC takes place
whenever a RA happens to be received.
Add a generic concept of a network device configurator, which provides
a common interface to triggering configuration and to reporting the
result of the configuration process.

Commit 5e1fa5c ("[parseopt] Add parse_timeout()") introduced a
regression causing the shell banner timeout value (calculated in
milliseconds) to be treated as a timer tick count, resulting in a
timeout of approximately two minutes rather than the intended two
seconds.

If a job times out then use the most recent ongoing error status
reported via job_progress() (if available) as the overall return
status.

Some background jobs have a meaningful ongoing status code (e.g. the
current link status for a job waiting for a network link to come up).
Allow this to be exposed via the job_progress() method.

If an object interface does not provide an intf_close() method, then
default to calling intf_restart(). This allows static objects to
safely ignore intf_close(), without needing to add code solely to
ensure that the interface gets unplugged.

Most network upper-layer drivers do not implement all three methods
(probe, notify, and remove). Save code by making all methods
optional.

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.

When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the
underlying PXE stack, and apply it as the original contents of the
"net<X>.dhcp" settings block. This allows cached DHCP settings to be
used for any chainloaded iPXE binary (not just undionly.kkpxe).
This change eliminates the undocumented "use-cached" setting. Issuing
the "dhcp" command will now always result in a fresh DHCP request.
