moving ficl to somwehere like contrib will be less error prone.

The Makefile rule to create vers.c for loader version info was
previously duplicated in each of the various loader Makefiles.

dev_net.c code.
The NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE flag was added in r201932 to prevent that behaviour
on some architectures (sparc64 and powerpc64) the default was left to always
open and close the device for each open and close of a file by the loader
because it was necessary for u-boot on arm.
Since it has been added, the flag was turned on for every arches including the
u-boot loader for arm.
This also fixes netbooting on RPi3 (tested by gonzo@)
For the loader.efi it greatly speeds up netbooting

we can find a way to get the information from petitboot or to guess it, so
the current algorithm is:
1. See if ps3disk3p1 (first GPT slice on OtherOS partition) exists, and if
so try to boot it.
2. Otherwise, netboot.

Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.
