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.

The "inc" command allows the numeric value of a setting to be

A deliberate side effect of this commit is that the "read" command
will now preserve the type of the setting, if the setting name
contains no type information. For example:
iPXE> set foo:ipv4 192.168.0.1
iPXE> read foo
192.168.0.100
iPXE> show foo
foo:ipv4 = 192.168.0.100
rather than the arguably unexpected behaviour of resetting the type to
"string".

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.

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.

Nothing currently prevents a menu separator from being assigned a
shortcut key, and then from being selected using that shortcut key.
This produces an inconsistency in the user interface, since separators
cannot be selected by other means of menu navigation (arrow keys, page
up/down, etc).
It would be trivial to prevent separators from being assigned shortcut
keys, but this would eliminate one potentially useful use case: having
a large menu and using shortcut keys to jump to a section within the
menu.
Fix by treating a shortcut key on a separator as equivalent to "select
the separator, then press the down arrow key". This has the effect of
moving to the first non-separator menu item following the specified
separator, which is probably the most intuitive behaviour. (The
existing logic for moving the selection already handles the various
nasty corner cases such as a menu ending with one or more separators.)

Unrecognised keys may be returned by getkey() as character code zero,
which currently matches against the first menu item with no shortcut
key defined.
Prevent this unintended behaviour by explicitly checking that the menu
item has a defined shortcut key.

When fetching a named setting using a name that does not explicitly
specify a type, default to using the type stored when the setting was
created, rather than always defaulting to "string". This allows the
behaviour of user-defined settings to match the behaviour of
predefined settings (which have a sensible default type).
For example:
set server:ipv4 192.168.0.1
echo ${server}
will now print "192.168.0.1", rather than trying to print out the raw
IPv4 address bytes as a string.
The downside of this change is that existing tricks for printing
special characters within scripts may require (backwards-compatible)
modification. For example, the "clear screen" sequence:
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc}[2J
echo ${cls}
will now have to become
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc:string}[2J # Must now explicitly specify ":string"
echo ${cls}

Expose image tail-recursion to iPXE scripts via the "--replace"

currently-executing script is replaced with the new image (as opposed
to running the new image as a subroutine).

Remove the name, cmdline, and action parameters from imgdownload() and
imgdownload_string(). These functions now simply download and return
an image.
Add the function imgacquire(), which will interpret a "name or URI
string" parameter and return either an existing image or a newly
downloaded image.
Use imgacquire() to merge similar image-management commands that
currently differ only by whether they take the name of an existing
image or the URI of a new image to download. For example, "chain" and
"imgexec" can now be merged.
Extend imgstat and imgfree commands to take an optional list of
images.
Remove the arbitrary restriction on the length of image names.
