Joshua Oreman b1ba80f8fb [dhcp] Add generic facility for using cached network settings
When a DHCP session is started (using autoboot or a command-line `dhcp
net0'), check whether the new setting use-cached (DHCP option 175.178)
is TRUE; if so, skip DHCP and rely on currently registered
settings. This lets one combine a static IP with autoboot.

Before checking the use-cached setting, call a weak
get_cached_dhcpack() hook that can be implemented by particular builds
of gPXE supporting some fashion of retrieving a cached DHCPACK packet.
If one is available, it is registered as an options source, and then
either that packet's option 175.178 or the user's prior manual
use-cached setting can allow skipping duplicate DHCP.

Using cached packets is not the default because DHCP servers are often
configured to give gPXE different options than they give a vendor PXE
client; in order to break the infinite loop of PXE chaining, one would
need to load a gPXE with an embedded image that does something more
than autoboot.
