This will also allow us to fill the list in single function.

All the code are now only issueing one single dhcp request at startup of the
loader meaning we can always request a the PXE informations from the
dhcp server.
Previous code lost that information, meaning no option 55 anymore (meaning not
working with the kea dhcp server) and no request for rootpath etc, no user class
Remove the flags from the bootp function which is not needed anymore

rfc3004 allows to pass multiple user classes on dhcp requests
this is used by dhcp servers to differentiate the caller if needed.
As an example with isc dhcp server it will be possible to make options
only for the FreeBSD loaders:
if exists user-class and option user-class = "FREEBSD" {
option root-path "tftp://192.168.42.1/FreeBSD;

The current read from network is working from up to down - we have some
protocol needing the data from the network, so we build the buffer space
for that protocol, add the extra space for headers and pass this buffer
down to be filled by nif get call in hope, we have guessed the incoming
packet size right. Amazingly enough this approach mostly does work, but
not always...
So, this update does work from down to up - we allocate buffer (based
on MTU or frame size info), fill it up, and pass on for upper layers.
The obvious problem is that when we should free the buffer - if at all.
In the current implementation the upper layer will free the packet on error
or when the packet is no longer needed.
While working on the issue, the additional issue did pop up - the bios
implementation does not have generic get/put interface but is using pxe
udpsend/udpreceive instead. So the udp calls are gone and undi interface
is implemented instead. Which in turn means slight other changes as we
do not need to have duplicated pxe implementation and can just use dev_net.
To align packet content, the actual read from nic is using shifted buffer by
ETHER_ALIGN (2).

Don't use DHCP 150 option to decide which protocol use to netboot. When
root-path includes ip address - go thru NFS, if ip address not exists in
root-path - go thru TFTP from server which ip address is in next-server. But
there is one limitation - only one tftp server in network to provide loader and
everything else. Does enybody use more than only one?

Since the uset can set dhcp.interface-mtu, we need to try to validate the
value. So we verify if the conversion to int is successful and we will not
allow to set value greater than max IPv4 packet size.
Also use snprintf for safety.

Add a new 'netproto' variable which can be set for now to
NET_TFTP or NET_NFS (default to NET_NONE)
From the dhcp options if one sets the root-path option to:
"ip:path", the loader will consider it is booting over NFS
(meaning same behaviour as the default current behaviour)
if the dhcp option "tftp server address" is set (option 150)
the loader will consider it is booting over tftpfs, it will then
consider the root-path options with 2 possible case
1. "path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed by
the option 150, and the files will be retrieved under "path" on the tftp
server
2. "ip:path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed in
the option "overwritting the IP from the option 150.
We could not "abuse" the rootpath option in the form or tftp://ip:path because
this is already used for other purpose by iPXE preventing any chainload from
iPXE to the FreeBSD loader.
Given at each open(), the loader loops over all available filesystems and keep
the "best" error, we needed to prevent tftpfs to fallback on nfs and vice versa.
the tftpfs and nfs implementation in libstand now return EINVAL early if
'netproto' for that purpose.

the value in a new global intf_mtu for use by the application.
These changes were inspired by the patch provided by Robert Blayzor in

variables in loader(8) and other libstand applications.
Sometimes a dhcp server provides incorrect information along with the IP
address. It would be useful to have a way to override this with
locally-supplied information, such as command line parameters passed from a
prior-stage bootloader. This change allows pre-existing env vars to take
precedence over values delivered by the dhcp or bootp server.
The bootp/dhcp code in libstand automatically creates environment variables
from the data provided by the server (dhcp.root-path, dhcp.domain-name,
etc). It also transcribes the values to some global variables such as
'rootpath' and 'hostname'.
This change does two things:
When adding dhcp.* vars to the environment, don't replace existing
vars/values.
When setting the global vars rootpath and hostname, use the
dhcp.root-path and dhcp.host-name env var values if they exist.
This allows the platform-specific part of loader(8) to obtain override
values in some platform-specific way and store them in the environment
before opening the network device. The set of values that can be overriden
is currently limited to just string options. The values that are delivered
as binary data are things that probably shouldn't be overridden (IP,
netmask, gateway, etc).

revised/modified by me) to store dhcp options into kenv variables,
so the information is available to the boot loader and can be used
to customize the boot process.
The change is totally unintrusive, essentially made of a single
function to be called while parsing a dhcp response, and a couple
of tables to classify options. The values extracted from dhcp
options are stored in the kenv environment in one of these forms:
+ options whose name and type is known are saved as
dhcp.name = value (string, or number/ip addresses lists)
+ unknown options are assumed to be strings and saved as
dhcp.option-NNN = "value"
+ options listed as '__INDIR' and sent on the wire as e.g.
option unknown-252 "some.name=the actual value"
are saved as
some.name = "the actual value"
+ options listed as '__ILIST' and sent on the wire as e.g.
option unknown-249 "a.b=foo bar; c.d= 123; e.f=done"
are saved as multiple values
a.b="foo bar"
c.d="123"
e.f="done"
As you can see there is quite a bit of flexibility on what can
be passed to the loader or the kernel.
For the time being the vendor-specific table is mostly disabled,
because there is no standard set of options for FreeBSD, and I don't
know all the pxe-specific vendor options.
Also, applications using libstand may live in memory-constrained
environments, so it makes sense to keep these tables as small as
possible, especially considering that one can generate arbitrary
name=value pairs using site-specific options of type __INDIR or
__ILIST (there are 4 __ILIST and 5 __INDIR in the table, numbered
246..249 and 250..254).
Actually, considering that probably 75% of the standard dhcp options
are totally useless, it might make sense to remove them as well.
