Michael Brown dc18fd7648 [efi] Default to releasing network devices for use via SNP
We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen.  (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)

The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).

We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.

We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP.  Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

Michael Brown f473b9c3f6 [efi] Disable SNP devices when running iPXE as the application
Some UEFI builds will set up a timer to continuously poll any SNP
devices.  This can drain packets from the network device's receive
queue before iPXE gets a chance to process them.

Use netdev_rx_[un]freeze() to explicitly indicate when we expect our
network devices to be driven via the external SNP API (as we do with
the UNDI API on the standard BIOS build), and disable the SNP API
except when receive queue processing is frozen.

Michael Brown d7736fbb7b [efi] Allow EFI to control PCI bus enumeration
EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration.  Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.

As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.

This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

Piotr Jaroszyński c68839d4d6 [efi] Fix .efi and .efidrv linking
The linker chooses to look for _start first and always picks
efidrvprefix.o to satisfy it (probably because it's earlier in the
archive) which causes a multiple definition error when the linker
later has to pick efiprefix.o for other symbols.

Fix by using EFI-specific TGT_LD_FLAGS with an explicit entry point.

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.

Merge in the changes that allow for building EFI driver images (that
can be loaded using the EFI shell's "load" command) as well as EFI
applications.
